Foreword

Having had one's knuckles wrapped for being a little naughty with the status thing. Fair enough RMweb, I was in the wrong, I shouldnt have done so, so in the manner I did it.

So, moving on, the model railway layout project is coming on, how do i know this, becuase Mike and the Mechanics have shown me the bridger girders that are going together to make up the raised bridge feature which forms part of the central scenic section of the layout. One half of the layout is fully wired up and Im hoping the main man can get to video some of his handywork in the next few days, so I can see how JohnsonStreetIEMD is coming along.

The main shed has three inspection pits, two of which will be lit - and will be electrified like Crewe EMD. The trackwork in both sheds will sit in plaster based concrete like some of the work you can see on youtube for great layouts, there are numerous on there.

Changing the focus a little Christmas is fast approaching and by the time it comes around, i should have 90028 and 90039 back with my fleet, along with 60065 in DB and I am eyeing up a DB red 66 hopefully.

Warley came and went but the man in the know was there to snap next year's big arrivals, a Bachmann Class 90 and a DJ Models Class 92. The Bachmann 90 will be off to a paintshop for one of 90037 or 90034 treatment - I'm just not sure which one first. The DJM 92 will be in DB schenker livery in all likelyhood.
