Hello all, it's been a while since I posted any updates so here we go. Not done too much lately, suffering a slight loss of direction and focus but I have been working on a couple of Parkside LNER ply vans. One a salvage job bought as a body only that had been built, this received a new chassie with vacuum Moreton brakes while the other was a new build which has received LNER 8 shoe vacuum brakes and is now awaiting a visit to the paint shop (AKA garage with the door slightly open).

There's also an ABS LMS van awaiting a roof and of course the visit to the garage/paint shop as well as an old K's LNER van (another salvage job) which is also going to get the full 8 shoe treatment!

Finally as nothing better was planned today (I went to Expo EM yesterday) I spent the afternoon doing most of the wiring on my new micro/micro 009 layout, the strange colours in the board are a consequence of the materials it is made from which include among other things old advertising foam board and a picture frame!

That's about it for now as I shall save my S scale ramblings for another time.

Attached should be a couple of photographs of the top and bottom of the 009 layout.

John.
