Holiday modelling frenzy!

A week off work has enabled me to clear the decks of reblow work and progress loads of dormant modelling projects;
08 After cracking the sound, attention has moved on to the weathering job. I've tried to make mine look faded, oily and dirty similar to this one; http://www.flickr.co...9@N22/lightbox/ I'm really pleased with the results so far. I'll post some pictures once I'm finished.
108 After trying various methods of passing two wires down the train to the second speaker I've finally come up with a really effective and completely hidden solution. All you can see in between the vehicles are the Kadees and a set of bellows through which the wires pass. Again I'll post some pictures when I get a minute.
OTA's Weathered the last wagon in the short rake of 6 (one of the new Bachmann ones) and cut some more 'logs' from the tree in the garden ready to go on it.
BG & GUV Weathered a blue GUV and blue / grey BG for the parcels train. There should have been a third BG but the Newspaper van I bought at the Northampton show (39-182B) has a printing error on the window bars which couldn't be seen until it came out of the box. It looks awful and there is no easy fix so be warned.
Voyager Removed the v3.5 chip and 100 ohm speaker from one end and replaced them with a v4 and bass reflex speaker. Still got to swap out the other three speakers and the chip at the other end.
318 Touched up the paint job on the Bratchell kit (round the doors mainly), and fitted the motor and pickups to the centre car. Now waiting for Kadees and a pantograph from a well known, noisy retailer from Yorkshire.
Anyone hazard a guess at the location of today's photo, circa 1986?
