RSS Fetcher Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 So as I sit here at the end of another modelling I find myself asking the question, what on earth did I actually do? Back in January my layout looked like this Some 12 months later and after numerous restarts I have finally build the terraced houses but am still no where near finishing the shops, so it now looks like this The wierd thing is I feel I have spent ages in the shed this year but do not have loads to show for it. Could this be because for the first time I have challenged my ineptitude and started on things like "detail". I have a spreadsheet about the layout from items such as the wiring plan, stock list for insurance, time table, etc. It also has a list of tasks that either need to be done or have been done. In that list since the layout started there are 140 things I have done and 32 jobs I still need to do that I can see. When I look at that list I find I have done things such as Laid the grass for the park area by the station Laid the paths Added the steps Added the wall Made the flower beds on the station Added some ground signals for the branchline Made the fence by the station Made 7 terraced houses Fixed the cows and sheep in place Started to replace the "bog brush" trees (I have plans for them) Added gutters and drain pipes to my buildings for the first time. Started creating a timetable Built my first building that was not simply a variation on a square box, but had angled corners. And finally I ran some trains So actually it may not have covered vast swathes of the layout as the 1st 2 years of this layout did, but it does seem I have taken some steps in to new area's of ineptitude that I have not done before. I have a feeling 2010 will be more of the same. View the full article Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
