Another Dose of Madness - OR - In The Begining There Was Ply-wood

Well it was bound to happen, with my life full of mayhem at the moment with a new job, two crazy Jack Russels and numerous other demands on time, a normal sane person would think to put any idea of modelling on a back burner.

 

A with me being a sensible, logical person that's exactly what I did, until the alignment dowels I ordered turned up :) not that I had anything planned but I just thought it would be handy to have a couple in stock.

 

I believe some modellers plan the builds down to the last track pin, and I commented on this to the Domestic Overlord as we had a brief period of respite from the two puppies (they were asleep).

 

As we mused on various topics, being the crafty little ###### that I am, the problem of cutting plans popped up, and how the efficient thing to do was to get as much usable parts from baseboards from the least number of for example ply sheets.

 

Before long our conversation led to the solution of many problems, the downturn in the pound, Brexit talks, the North Korean problem, a justification for Tofu, and theoretical cutting plans for a new layouts baseboards (only joking nobody even us, can justify the existence of Tofu :))

 

It was soon time to get back to the domestic duties, and like a good little chap I got onto them and a little detour on the way to the supermarket let to the surprise find of some ply-wood that just happens to have been cut in the dimensions I would need, if I was planning a new layout which I'm not..and I did not lose any fingers in the progress :)

I suppose, it would be worth a little time seeing if something useful could be made from them, I mean it does not necessarily mean it will lead to a new layout does it?

 

If it did though, does it mean I would have to start a layout thread?

Hi Paul,

 

Good to see you posting. There's no turning back now, you have to build this. I'm impressed you've involved the D.O. in the planning, but on the other hand probably a smart move!

 

Thread or blog, whatever takes your fancy. You're not getting read of us :-)

 

BTW I like Tofu.

I tried it once it was a vastly overrated experience.

 

You will regret trying to get me doing more posts :)

Not if it involves a goods scene, your goods depot on the last layout was a favourite of mine.

I think there may be a goods depot, or at least a factory..........who knows :)
