Well in my last post, I started to detail some of the improvements I need to make to a few of the locomotives in my fleet. I'm still working through this process, well I would be if...

a) I had more time and

B) I spent the time I have working on this projects instead of starting new ones.

So guess what I did, yes your right I started some new ones, but only because I needed something to do while I waited for paint and glue to dry. So really I'm just being efficient, well that's my story and I'm sticking to it.

A trip into the loft the other day (yes I don't get out much, I meant outside, not out of the loft or I would still be stuck up there) I found a couple of my old Farish models, which I just could not part with. The problem was what to turn them into, as I already have enough Black 5's.

These models must be nearly as old as me, so I treated them with a little respect, and introduced them to Mr Mini-Drill and a nice cutting disc, and soon they looked a little different.

I'm not going to tell you what I hope they will be when I'm finished, as I don't want people saying, "there's no way they look like a *****" Anyway thanks to a my habit of buying various bits an pieces at exhibitions, I soon found a couple of suitable domes, and chimneys that I could modify. After a bit of digging in the bits and bobs box, I found two lengths of a suitable boiler, and thanks to some superglue I soon had the basics of locomotives forming?

up until this point everything seemed to be going well, and that's when it hit me, things were going well so I did the sensible thing and quit while I was ahead.

So at this point until the next update as ever Happy Modelling
