First setback

Well, I've spent a few hours trying to mill up some connecting and coupling rods for the O gauge Barclay, which I'm determined is going to be the first finished article from the newly focussed Hedge End works. But it was basically a cock up - I thought that I would make them somewhat finer than the etched ones supplied with the kit (but which were mostly missing from my acquired part built example) , but impatience coupled with problems setting up on machinery more geared to bigger things led me to reject the first efforts. I'm now undecided as to whether to have another go, or see if DJH can supply an etch of the parts in question. I am disappointed with my lack of care and resolve on this most minor of issues, I used to have the patience of Job when model engineering but it seems to have diminished of late. If I am to complete the numerous projects I have on the go (I will get some pics of those up here) I'm going to have to rediscover this virtue.
