Well thanks to a manic work schedule and some of the effects of my condition progress on Foster Street has been very, very slow. But being a tiny bit stubborn, yes only a tiny bit (The Domestic Overlord will say otherwise ) I was determined not to let it get to me or from doing some modelling.

Even if the progress was to be slow it was still progress, that's what I thought anyway, so I got out the list of outstanding jobs on Foster Street, and cracked on. The result of this was that it not only highlighted the severe lack of time I had available but also the severe lack of physical energy I had, not good

Anyway I managed to find a couple of things I could do, one was to do a little more work on my attempt to create a Parallel boiler Patriot from the starting point of a very old Farish Black 5. This involved a bit more filing and sanding, but it still needs a lot more, I even slapped a little black paint on to see how I feel about its final livery.

I even managed to throw a little paint onto my attempt to create the Titfield Thunderbolt, I still have a lot to do on this including the balconies, but first I need to tidy up the red bit, but a shaky hand is one of my current side effects.

Still it could be worst, I have managed to do a little armchair research, and I have acquired a couple of good books to add to the collection.

Until the next time as ever, Happy Modelling
