Back here after a few months - basically i've not posted due to not having done anything. Simple as that - however with a few days of R&R due I shall be having a crack at it all again - notwithstanding a new year's party looming with seven Ethnic German Russians, (or are they ethnic Russian Germans?) long story. Long night, day after the hangover I dare say mojo will be reinstated and work shall recommence.

 

Big stumbling block was that the baseboards in the station area are not really even, despite laying the supports with a spirit level quite accurately when the baseboards were laid on top there are peaks and troughs in the run through the station, I shall relay the supports lengthways rather than crossways. It'll take a bit of doing as i've already stuck cork down etc, however my overriding philosophy is to do things to the best of my ability and not put up with compromises if I can improve something myself.

 

Anyway enough of that. More when it's done. I was in Berlin recently for a work project (the one that has taken all my take up) but managed to find a couple of hours to visit the Technical museum, I was pleasantly surprised to see a HO model of the Anhalter Bahnhof. I have included a few pictures of it here. I aged them in PS just for something to do while the wife was in one of her busy moods :spruceup:

And a couple of photos without me messing about (too much) with them...

If you're in Berlin the museum is well worth a few hours, I didn't bother with the printing, jewelry, and other bits. The trains took about 2 hours to go through and they even have a strange collection of railway tickets from around the world... Lots, including a rather large selection of "Dog" Tickets from the "North British Railway"...

Excellent museum well worth a visit, I only popped in for and hour or so and ended up there for most of the day ! The railway section is thoroughly recommended.
