flights and B&B booked for the Swanage Diesel Gala and Beer Fest, something to look forward to.

Taking a close look at some recently bought Bachmann BR wagons, love the details, I'd not spotted before the dates on the panels, amazingly fine print and my terrible short sightedness allows me to read some dates, 1979, 1980, spot on for my period 👍

Beginning to realise I'm going to need a lot more track...

Well, the loft layout, such that it was, is now all boxed up ready for the big move. All being well in a couple of months I'll be up and running again in a bigger and better loft.

Mugatea, chocolate cookie, spod book = bliss

Track cleaning...

giving my newly-bought Heljan D8400 a running in, and very nice it is too!

excellent, managed to assemble baseboard for my new 009 layout - track laying here we come...!

Just giving my new Heljan green Hymek a first run, so so smooth :-)

my 6 year old son's just planned out a layout on graph paper - complete with station, signal box and loco shed.

aargh, I should have watched the classifieds this evening! I missed this Bachmann CL.40 Mauritania **ANALOGUE** - just the thing I am after... oh well, next time!

Am enjoying a coffee and reading "Midland Red Bus Garages", something a bit different yet still a trip down memory lane!

is going down the Dirty Duck for a pint...

Just returned from annual family hols: managed to get in three 15" gauge lines as part of the trip - two of them in 'family attractions'!

did the ELR gala yesterday and had a fantastic time.
