Long time no entry

I haven't put anything on my blog for a long time so let's start again with a quick catch up.                                                                                                           In the intervening time we have moved back into Andover, in the process lost a bedroom (the railway room), a bathroom and a garage (it's called "downsizing".....don't do it!).

I now have in the garden a 3m x 3m cabin insulated and with electrics which must serve as both railway room and workshop (you should see how much "stuff" I've had to get rid of ), however there are the startings of 3 layouts in 3 different scale/gauge combinations sprouting around the walls,as usual I couldn't bring myself to concentrate on just one scale/gauge.

I shall not trouble this forum with my narrow gauge efforts but solely the fine scale O gauge and the EM gauge layouts. The O gauge has baseboards built, track laid and wired, whilst the EM has had to make do with a modified 2nd hand board I bought a couple of years ago and promptly cut it into two parts lengthwise. Although nothing else has happened on the EM other than the construction and wiring of a sector plate for the fiddle yard, why? Because there might be something else EM wise in the wings possibly coming my way.

 

I'm hoping to take some photographs tomorrow of some O gauge wagon salvage I've been working on, all will become clear.

Interesting. I have always feared downsizing and my cunning plan would be to spend more time and effort on my model railway club efforts. 

Look forward to seeing your photos.
