Howdy.

Sorry not to update regularly( trouble with this blog concept) but I haven't being doing a lot for the past week, just rebuilding a turnout, and tweaking a couple more.

In the process of lifing these, have had some second thoughts and all the track has been removed ( messy!) from the lack shelf, and a new simple little baseboard constructed out of some timber I bought in last year for the purpose.

The overriding reason was the difficulty of attaching cobalt motors ( which having played with, I am starting to like),it lacking depth and a secure fixing surface - neither unsurmountable, but perhaps a step too far for me just at this time. I am now reconsidering the track plan...!

My last couple of association wagons have been completed in the last fortnight, so I suppose I have not been quite as idle as it feels, though I have been putting off designing and building the chassis for the little 1F body shell, which is still sitting wrapped in polythene on my shelf.

Here are a couple of shots of the 1F - before final detailing and afterwards:

Maybe it might spark me into action re the chassis if I post some pix ...
