billyb_imp Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 It's a bit quiet on here this morning. Has everyone forgotten to change the clocks and are still in bed Duncan I would like to think everyone's hard at it, at their modelling station making up for lost time (the missing hour) (edit grammar) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
emt_911 Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Morning Billy I'm certainly not hard at the modelling. I'm in the process of tidying up my work area after the last couple of days. Duncan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duncan I think tidying up our work (modelling) areas still counts overall as part of the modelling, its a chore that as got tp be done We need to create some order so that the chaos flows in order to create yet more mess Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
emt_911 Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 You realy don't want to see the chaos I've caused over the last few days. Tools, paints, plasticard, glues all over the place to the extent that I can't find anything easily The only advantage is that I've only got myself to answer to.

RMweb Premium southern42 Posted March 31, 2013 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 31, 2013 We have a family member staying - hence the train ride yesterday - who is currently shunting on Avago And Ray has already started building my 43xx chassis.... the gear box and motor work.... As to my own modelling. Since I've not settled on the track plan yet I've decided to measure up the loco shed and work shop and see where that takes me. I've got drawings with measurements - hopefully, they'll all be readable/decipherable. But that will wait until tomorrow (?)

Holiday today :sungum: Lazy Lune I'd NEVER describe you as a "Lazy Lune", Polly!! You always seem to be on the go. I guess it helps if your other half is as interested in a hobby as you are! How long have you been working on your track plan? I remember looking at one in GWR a few months ago. My KL plan took over 2 years to evolve into it's final stage. There were times when I never thought I'd get to the point where I was happy with it, but I couldn't be more delighted with the result. Track planning and layout design is a hobby in its own right. I must ask Andy if he sits and plans all these layouts he builds. Jeff Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, as his layouts always seem to be highly functional and scenically excellent, I suspect that he sits and ponders long and hard before starting anything.

RMweb Premium southern42 Posted March 31, 2013 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 31, 2013 Thanks guys. That's cheered me up no end - it's always more convincing when someone else says it. . I've been thinking about it - oh, let's do it properly (HAHA) - planning the layout for about a year - so not long. Part of this is just reading about it - find an interesting photo and it's "can I model it?" so I guess I'm not idling as such - just trying to get the most out of it all and I guess that takes time. And, of course, I'm following threads on here and finding out how to do things - even if I do put on the clown act occasionally a lot of the time. And there again - there's Avago and Camel Quay to contribute to which are in themselves part of the learning experience as well as watching or operating other people's layouts. Lots of fun, then.

RMweb Premium Physicsman Posted March 31, 2013 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted March 31, 2013 Just where is Andy P today rather conspicuous by his absence, maybe sat pondering somewhere considering his next move Whatever he does it seems to work I suspect Andy will be working on Glenfinnick. He'll post some pictures after about 7pm, showing the loch shore completed and the main area of the layout grassed. I'm not joking about this - I think that what he achieves is quite amazing. I simply couldn't do things the way he does....and the speed of the man. Then he tells us that he's "bodged it". If Andy isn't an inspiration, I don't know what is!

Jeff Jeff, I have Glenfinick underway as you well know, I have almost finished the track layout for Annes Hill, my OO MPD, and I am working on a new OO Scottish Layout to replace Glen Roy in 2015, poss a Scottish Terminus with a Quayside.
