Yes, it was brilliant mate cheers.

I decided not to travel back tomorrow, but to come home this afternoon instead.

 

Eastleigh was very quiet and boring this morning, and not a lot to photograph.

 

 

[Andrew P]

Enough of the glamour of Eastleigh, as were now back in the real world.

You have a great grandaughter aged 15! I think you are slightly younger than me so I now feel older today. Looks like a great family.

[Andrew P]

I'm having a running session on New Mills again this morning, but now stopped for 11's and so time for another pic on here.

 

[georgeT]

That duff ticks all the right boxes for mate, nice picture..

Tea time treat in the shape of a Grid.

 

[Andrew P]

This evening the Grid is kept busy worrying some Wagons in the Yard.

 

[Andrew P]

As I've just said on New Mills, The Working on Layout Mojo needs a Good kick up the back end, no real work has been done on either Layout for a couple of weeks now, so that needs to change, and change soon I hope. 

 

In the meantime, here is my morning pic of the day.

[Andrew P]

Nothing done except de chip some Blue OO Locos this morning ready for selling, as I'm moving forward to 2000 ish so that I can have a larger variety of Liveries etc.

 

In the meantime, here's a Lunchtime pic for today.
