Hello

Its been while since my last post (and that wasnt even about railways!) so a post was due really. I always seem to end up having a modelling lull around this time of the year, after all its holiday season but even without any holidays on the horizon I still end up not doing alot! Anyway here is what I have been upto since my last post....

Firstly I have been making a few bits, there isnt any fantastic progress to report but there has been some progress. After the toad brake van I moved onto making some more signals on Wednesday and Friday evenings at the MRC in Abingdon and the progress is shown above. On the left are the two fixed distant signals I need at each end of Highclere and the three to the right are the beginnings of more starter signals I also need.

Secondly today I popped into Didcot Railway Centre to see the Railmotor (finally!). All I can say is that is amazing, the finest bits of engineering / restoration I have ever seen.

Finally I couldnt really add a post on what I have been upto without mentioning the van. I have spent quite a bit of time working away on the interior to try and 'tidy it up a little'. Before and after photos below for those who are interested...
