Playing trains.
Off to help Mark run Witney Euston this Sunday at Railex.
Hopefully I will get the hang of this DCC stuff fairly quickly...and looking forward to getting my hands on that exquisite 0-6-0!
Interesting to read Missy's blog about her frustrations with Highclere, especially as I always think of it as exemplary modelling in 2mm scale.
My own interest has been waning on my far more modest layout, and am thinking that maybe salvaging the point motors and starting again, hopefully with better craftsmanship might be a good idea.
It hasn't helped that having purchased a book about the Leicester and Burton Branch recently, I have discovered the perfect little station for my needs, and the idea of modelling an actual MR prototype is very compelling right now.
I think it saves you having to keep visualising how things should look, and keep trawling for prototype examples of building etc which would fit!
On a more positive note, I have begun to dress my little 1F. Compressor arrived a couple of days ago, so managed to get a topcoat on and then yesterday brushed some balck and red on.
Still plenty to do, but hopefully should be finished by the end of next week.
Regards,
Chris
