Insomnia

OK, so it's 4 in the morning and I'm wide awake. Maybe some inane ramblings might help. Of course it's dangerous writing anything at this time of day or is it night as I'm liable to start waffling. Look I'm doing it now.
As I'm coming towards the end of another project, the 03 in this case, thoughts turn towards the what's next catagory. Usually this means staring for hours at the cupboard which houses my contribution to the EU unmade kit mountain before closing the door with a 'nah, maybe tomorrow'.
One of my new year's resolution for 2009 was to avoid buying anything new until I'd made space for it by building something else. Trouble is, it only takes a couple of impulse purchases (Bachy 150/2, Falcon etc) and the space is soon gone.
I quite enjoyed building the 42xx as on RMWeb 3 as it was something that I'd had for years. Applying the same logic, the next on the list would be:
Craftsman 121/122 conversion for a Lima 116/117 power car, which I bought from a previous employer, namely the model railway in Weston when I had a summer job as a teenager. Speaking of which, it seems the local council has failed once again to get the Tropicana development restarted (that's the old open air pool on the seafront for the uninitiated). I spent many happy days working at the railway, which just happened to be on the top floor overlooking said open air pool...
Other projects going way back include:
Gibson 02
Ratio Van B (2 of them)
Perseverance Pannier chassis and Replica pannier body (would use the High Level one now though)
Triang Maunsell bogie brake
Finney T9
Rewheeling conversions for 108, West Country, 2 N's, Grange
Mitchell 4575 prarie
50 or so wagon kits
The list goes on...
Then there's the prospect of a new layout, namely Clevedon on the WC&P. Then the roundy-roundy which I've always wanted to build based on the Newquay branch somewhere between St Denis and St Blazey.
Ah well, enough of this. Should probably get back to bed, perchance to dream...
night, night.
