It's been a while since I blogged. I have been pottering around on Neptune Road adding odds and ends as well as weathering wagons, fitting Kadees and shunting with the 63'er (Baby Warship/Class 22 if you prefer).

Local exhibition looming next month!

I had prepared some small playing cards to use, each one relating to a wagon. 8 wagons are placed on the layout, 8 cards are shuffled and 5 are drawn and the 5 wagons then have to be gathered in that order with 3 being "in the way". It can take about 15 to 20 mins to complete. Nothing new or ground breaking just fun!

However, this week I obtained some old BR wagon labels and intend to use those in the same way but instead of the playing cards. Hi Vis vest and a Mr Chuffy hat and I'm away!

Fellow railway pal, Marc "Growler" Smith, kindly offered to take some more pics for me so after popping to Machen quarry on Sunday to phot top and tail 66's on a rail tour, he did just that.

Here's a taster - cheers Marc
