Day 50: reflective waffling

I've made it to 50 days of modelling! I certainly wasn't expecting to get this far, but it's been a good challenge so far to get some progress done every day, no matter how small. Times have been tough for me personally (though related to work, not directly as a result of lockdown or isolation) and a bit of creativity each evening has helped keep me sane, so in an odd way, it couldn't have come at a better time. The blog runs a day or two behind real life in the event that I miss a couple of days, but so far I've managed to make something worth sharing (in my opinion) every day. 

 

Personal highlights? The Sentinel project - it looks better than I thought it would, and for one of my first attempts at properly weathering a loco, has come out well. Also, the coal wagons have turned out well, the controller that actually works (3rd time lucky!), and the backdated Ruston 48DS, the latter being one of those rare projects where almost everything went right first time.

 

I'll try to keep up this blog for a bit longer, and I'm hoping to focus a bit more on the layout building and scratchbuilding/bashing stuff, I love my CAD and 3D printing but I appreciate most people don't. 

 

Onward!

Congratulations on achieving 50, I don't think many of us would have been able to keep it going that long. 

 

I've enjoyed the locos and have discovered the Hardy's range through your posts. I'm normally able to resist new locos, but these are both charismatic and involve some actual modelling. Very hard to resist, especially the H class!  :)

Thanks, I think I've surprised myself more than anyone else...

 

Glad you like the locos! We try and make some of the more characterful ones we can find, and fortunately the industrial world is full of them
