I'm having a massive clear out! Lots of BR-era stock will be listed over the coming days (SR/WR bias). Please do have a look - I need rid!
-
Tested positive for Covid on Monday... managed to avoid it for the past two years and then fall the week before the Taunton do. Typical!!

I had it three weeks ago and it was really like a bad/very bad cold although I was tired at times and lost my appetite to some extent, plus few occasional headaches. Senses of smell and taste were unaffected.. If it goes like that the worst should be over in no more than a week or so and hopefully you won't get the continuous nausea which hit me as everything else improved.

Today will be spent mostly avoiding doing things... How much mischief can I achieve in a 6 hour working day?

Always nice dealing with Mr Mosby. Top gent.

Yesterday, I bought some guttering and down pipe parts from ModelU, which look rather nice. This was the cheapest order placed this weekend! I think the modelling mojo has returned.

Amazing number of people clapping here! Thank you to all NHS workers and volunteers: it makes one proud to be British.

Cheers guys. The local priest came to bless our place of work yesterday. That brought some mixed emotions. Given the circumstances, some felt it more like we were being read the last rites and got very upset. But we carry on and with God's blessings, we'll come out the other side. Each week that goes by is one week closer to getting on top of it.

I heard the phrase something like "There is and end to this..." this morning. I believe it is the title of a book about very tough events to be dealt with and the author was talking on Radio 2 to Kate Botley and Jason Mohammed at about 8 this morning. She was lovely and calm and measured. Quite inspirational. Stay safe you all.

17 children remain this afternoon out of 29 in my class and this has been replicated across our two-form entry school. Most are off following the government advice. So, when do the mass closures start!?

Has spent a very productive afternoon repairing several older Hornby models from his childhood. Many which hadn't turned a wheel for 15 plus years are now working far more satisfactorily.

Tommy used to work on the docks, union's been on strike He's down on his luck, it's tough, so tough

Droppers fitted to the track on Whitchurch today. Nice to actually build a layout, rather than just think about it!
-
Don't tell sir, but I'm not in class today!
-
I did some modelling today and throughly enjoyed working in P4 again. I haven't undertaken any serious P4 modelling for several years.

When did SR CCT vans loose their roof ventilators?
Currently building a batch (some SR built and some BR) and wanted to have a bit of variation! Cheers.

Is thankfully returning home on a proper train: Intercity 125, the train I remember in swallow livery as a child. The first class seating is how first class should be, comfortable. The new thing I travelled up on this morning isn't in the same league!
-
Is travelling on one of the new GWR Hitachi trains to London. The first class seat isn't as nice as the model fitted in the HSTs. Shudder to think what standard class is like!

If anyone has a Malcolm Mitchell 45xx 4mm kit or a 55xx 4mm kit, please can you send me a PM. Ideally, un-built. I would also consider the Churchward Models 45xx kit too. I'm happy to pay sensible prices.

Spent today helping John & Rod with their Balcombe project. Truly amazing to watch a train in the distance.

I am very annoyed with myself. The Bachmann Toad brake van, which I've invested a good 8 hours worth of modelling time in, hit the floor this afternoon during painting due to a f***ing wasp flying down my shirt front. I got stung in the process and have a smashed Toad. The wasp was killed!! Very cross.
