    Waiting at Wooferton for a B1 on an excursion heading to Shrewsbury on the old LNWR/GWR joint - Wooferton is no longer a junction or even a station, but there's still a signal box, refuge siding and (G)WR signalling.

      The Wooferton masts are visible from our front windows .

    Friday night liquid poly disaster - only one wagon a complete write off but will have to dig into my precious stocks of MAJ wagon parts to make good the damage to the others.

      Now that sounds like a good idea ! I used to keep an old fashioned square 'Britfix 70' bottle and decant new solvent into that but it seems to have disappeared into the recycling bin.

      I'm amazed that they are still to be found in reasonable numbers - we'll miss them when they're gone !

    The move back into active modelling is increasingly taking the form of a reversion to my original 1970's interest in the GWR...that's a 1970s take on modelling the GWR, all Prototype kits buildings, Ratio signalling, ABS wagons, Mallard etched brass engines and Dart Castings / Pendon fittings, all washed down with J.H.Russell's OPC books.

      In 1981, I went from thinking that The Fall were the worst band ever to thinking they were brilliant in about 2-3months of wall to wall airplay by John Peel.

    Just received a new element for my Antex Soldering Iron. Guess what you need a soldering iron to solder the wires to it.
