Tracklaying is progressing very slowly at the moment (too many distractions on my part rather than any fault of the Easitrac system), so rather than boring everyone with even more photos of half-finished turnouts, I thought I'd find something else to blog.

Having a tidy-up of my folders and files on the computer at the weekend, I came across a photo of a North Eastern Railway brake van that I took a few years ago. The van is one of the very few wagons I can claim to have finished, and I was experimenting with photographing 2FS models (mostly with little or no success).

A while ago, ace kit designer and fellow North East Area Group member Bob Jones produced a 2mm scale kit for a North Eastern Diagram P4 hopper wagon. Having built the brake van, I decided that I ought to build some wagons to go with it, and so a pile of etches were duly acquired from Bob, with the vague promise that they'd be available for running on Bob's Fence Houses layout in due course. So far I've build the grand total of 1 wagon (although another is on the way). The second photo is of both wagon and brake van on some part completed track (wonder where that would be then!).

Anyway, better get back to the sleeper chopping!
