also just looked through this thread. very good, and glad you've been feeling better about the modelling. feeling down about a hobby makes me feel guilty as well, which makes it even worse!

 

some terrific work here. very inspirational. :)

Hello all,

 

Been a few months. Kinda lost my model train Mojo recently.

Work + recession, and money worries have made "playing trains feel almost too frivolous"

 

Did sneak into "dads wee room of sadness" at the weekend and took 5 photos and a wee video while the sun was oooooot!

 

Images here show a few more welders + some clutter have arrived in the scrap yard + some Noch grass tufts.

 

Hope someone likes these.

 

Stuart

My Homage to Eastfield (and Toton)

Lovely job!

 

BTW, looking at Hunslet's comment there, and a pair of CIÉ C classes (208 and 219) were scrapped at Vic Berry in 1990, and at several other places around England...

Even if its a bit out of your era, just if you need any obscure ideas...

Firstly a big THANK YOU to those who took the time to post on here and an aopolgy for not responding sooner.

Very rude of me - sorry.

 

 

Thanks to Andy (Hunslet102) on here for nudging me to get back in the room.

I will try and re kindle my Mojo over these dark winter night sin Sunny Glasgow.

 

A quick update - and 4 photos.

 

The 37 I wrecked a few months back is now shown in the scrap yard where it can Rust In Piece.

Then a slightly fuzzy photo of my pal John's visiting St Paddy. Decided to include this as most of my Deltic photos from 1979 - 1982 are blurry -  they did go a bit fast for my old Practika camera. So I consider this to be bank on prototypical

Lastly a Google earth view of Douglas Depot - I always like seeing track plans and overhead views - hope others enjoy this.

Maybe next time I will have photos of NEW modelling and not have to go back to page 27 to find this thread.

Although I see that new topics can drop down to page 3 and 4 after 2 days now. When I started this Topic - you could stay on page 1 for a week.

Well done all at RMWeb - you are doing something right.

 

Till next time  then.and thanks for viewing

 

Stuart
