Having said that I wasn't going to use a blog, seeing that Andy has gone to the time and trouble of tweaking the blog section about I thought I would reinstate mine, but use it as a workbench thread.

Right here is a snap-shot of my workbench within my 10ft by 11ft railway room. The layout itself will be worked on in here, but operated down stairs in the much larger garage, although I haven't cleared that yet! (And I don't intend to do that this week!) One of the reasons for using this room as a modelling room is that it is very bright, which is ideal for our construction based hobby.

On the bench there are a number of models, but over the coming weeks I plan to finish the conversion of two Bachmann Panniers (one with Alan Gibson wheels, the other with Ultrascale), finish a 57xx Comet chassis which I started last June , convert a Bachmann 45xx using Alan Gibson wheels, finish the Airfix auto coach that I started over half term and if that isn't enough there are some wagons which are 'nearly there' too! Am I setting myself up for a fall, well mostly likely, but I do enjoy a challenge!

Please feel free to add any ideas, shout at me when I get something wrong, or just say that looks nice!

Anyway enough for a couple of minutes, I need to crack on!

Regards,

Nick
