Overall black with a red band along the edge of the running board line, or unlined with green tanks, cab and coal skip sides?

Junk shop special... An Arnold 0-6-0 of the family what ran out of Barcelona, 20€... Paint already in stock... If I keep this up, I'll soon have one of everything local :S

Should I take this pick up job in Sabadell this lunch? Could be dangerous as it's five minutes from the Code 55 stockist :S

Just had a bogie mount sheer on my only 'large' loco, a Farish 47 that is at least 16 years old as I know to...

Etched Pixels, easy to fix, done it before many times in England... Getting parts over here in Spain is not as easy, been going through the local dealer lists seeing if they've got any parts, but as the loco has been written off twice already, I'm seeing about getting some custom bits done (as my other half's boss is wanting to expand the product lines he does...).

It turns out that the need for permits was brought in by the new mayor, and to get the permit you need to present architectural plans to the municipal adjuntement before they'd sign off on it (it took my father in law two months to get permission to fix a leaky poo pipe in the bathroom wall)... And it turns out, that the only architect operating in the region is... The mayor of the village.

Nearly getting to the point where I'd be happy to post photos, instead of just having bits of wood and track to show for my efforts...

How can a village on top of a mountain flood?

Found a shop selling 600mm x 300mm artist's supports with 20mm square battons topped in 2mm ply earlier... And they'd got them marked up at 2 for 5€.

Was planning on rusting some rails and building the other scenic former this afternoon... But clicky hard drive syndrome has put paid to that!
-
Whoo... My layout 'research' photos for my local project made today's paper as an illustrated article on the old railway. AKA, newspaper buys photographer locomotive!

Nipped in to the nearest 'large' town to get some varnish from the model shop... But the model shop has quietly closed. Three hour round trip to the nearest now...
-
Bah, bank holidays... The shops are closed, and I've run out of glue. Looks like model building is off the agenda until tomorrow at least...

Mixed some gobbo to make some rock faces, made a brew, then the phone went... So much for modelling and a day off...
