  1. Worthwhile visit to York MRS. A plesent five minutes talking to Jim McGeown has set the seeds for an interesting first foray into kit-bashing... Watch this space for more!

  2. Off to York MRS this Sunday with my secret stash of savings. Massive Spending Ahoy!!

      I've just been and spent much more than I intended, but I could still have spent more!!Great day out though.

      Well worth the 200 mile round trip, plus it coincides with my Dad's birthday. Handy trip out!

  3. Still nothing to report on the modelling front. Too busy with real life :(

      You too, Brutus?

  4. Spent all day at the Tanfield, initially as Yard Shunter and Applier of Brute Force, but through a series of events ended the day as driver of the shunting engine!

  5. More track renewal tomorrow at the Tanfield Railway; it's better than going to the Gym!

  6. I thought &mm to the Foot was a good scale to work in; then I spent today doing trackwork in 12" to the foot scale. Much more fun!

  7. Not a lot happening here at the moment. Must get back to building that JLTRT CCT when I have a bit of spare cash for the transferes.

  8. Is staying sober and going to bed early tonight; he has to be up early tomorrow to go and play with real steam engines...

  9. Seriously considering an 'N' gauge shunting layout after seeing a Farish 03in action

      Do it. In fact you could finescale it...

      Don't think I'm quite ready to build finescale track just yet, although it's a lovely thought.

      I threw up in that pub once or twice, good times.

      The annoying thing is it is a good, profitable pub; they are pulling it down so lorries can turn into the new supermarket more easily!

  12. Working unfitted freight is fun!

      Sorry, strictly 12 inches-to-the-foot scale!

  18. Count me in! I have a small stash of "OO" left over from when I used to model it, and would love the chance to use it -Chris
