He's a Rebel without a cause., I have told him, and he is on a final warning, or will be when he wakes up.

I do have some orange paint Ian, and I even know where it is, but I also need some more drivers, and the pipework on 37206 needs some paint, so all will be done at the same time. 

It's like the weathering Ian, I need to get in the mood, at the moment I'm doing other things, in the Garden, around the Bungalow and in the POD, so the Layout will have to take it's place in the queue at the moment, and at least 2m apart from other Hobbies and Jobbies.

Sunday morning, and the only movement in Seven Mills is the overnight arrival of 56047 from some Engineering Work in the Bristol area.

[Andrew P]

And scrambling through the bushes, I got a nice shot of the two 33's, Blue 33012 and 33035 in NSE Livery, sitting in the Goods Loop.

Are you going to add a class 50 with sound

Hi Ian, No mate, possible another 47, or Blue 56, as 50's are more akin to Passenger Workings and Yards. I also like the Sound of both of my 47 and 56, 

I have been looking at a new 47 Large Logo but they still look a bit expensive new at the moment.

I only have a Bachmann K3 and some Mineral Wagons to sell in OO now, so funds are running low. Without building new Layouts to sell for a small profit, I'm a bit tight on funds for big purchases until nearer Christmas time.

If I do decide to run Seven Mills purely as a Stabling Point, I do have quite a few Wagons that would fund another Loco and Sound purchase later on, but I wont make any decisions on that just yet.

Stay well and safe mate.I miss your humor in the Shop of a Wednesday.

Had a nice running session this morning that included some pics and Video footage.

Here's a pic from earlier.

Thanks Chris, it does make the Layout look a lot longer than it really is.

[Andrew P]

And the Video from this morning, back to moving some Wagons about.

 

[muddys-blues]
