Well Another Christmas day gone almost, and can say it was a good one today, with me "playing trains" with the present from the family of 101692, sadly not a loco, but still this unit will be a good detailing and rework project none the less!

An extensive list of improvements and detailing by me has been penciled in but the usual job will be to detail the bufferbeams, get some form of working lights, and correct the livery errors, as well as new bogie sideframes and a rework of the underframe too, but ill add a full lsit of corrections within the next couple of days along with pictures as the as well.

As shocked as I was as I shopped for parts for the 101, to learn that 6E41, being the Westerleigh to Lindsey emtpy oil tanks was runing today! and with it being the big christmas day, I must admit I feel for the poor driver having to work christmas day! along with all of those who work in other prefessions such as hospital work and such!

With the Hornby 2010 list now out of the proverbial bag, can safely say that nothing much from the new range will be featuring much, probably next to nothing will in fact

The 73 is comnig along fine, since the last update the underframe has been sprayed and weathered .. more 73s, will be bracing my workbench blog in the near future

Thats all for now, oh and chocolate biscuits are the root of all evil!

Thanks for reading
