Not a lot of modelling done over the past few months, the highlight begin the work on 50031. This has seen a little more progress with jon's cast side grills now fitted along with the new windscreens. Just need to drill out the new exhaust ports and it will be ready for painting in august.

The main event of the past month has been buying my first house (ok apartment), although it will not be finished being built until December it does mean that I know know how much space I have for a layout (none)....

As a result (and partly to fund new stuff for the house) I have decided to clear out everything which does not directly fit my two planned layouts (one of which will continue construction slowly at parents house)

As a result all my 2006 stock will be listed on the classifieds next week, and my 2004 fleet is likely to follow later in the year. At the same time I am do going to clear my 80s passenger fleet

Going to be helping with a demo at scaleforum in September so I suspect after that I will be back wanting to get on with the layout again
