    Is rather disappointed that so few people have viewed Il Dottore's The 2012 RMWeb Yuletide Readings in Wheeltappers..

    Not getting much modelling done as my sister is over from Vancouver for a month. Amazing how much impact visitors have on your life.

  3. Jol Wilkinson

    Snowing in Suffolk! I thought they kept that for Kent and Essex.

    Just picked up the ply for the fiddle yard surround on the extension to London Road. The last of the major "works", is the end in sight?

      Michael,

      no specific dates yet, but a couple of tentative inquiries. I haven't been pushing for invites so far, until I get a bit further with the scenic stuff. I am happy to take it out as a work in progress, when I am satisfied with the running and some of the pretty stuff is done.

    Off to France for a few days vacance, so you can all enjoy a bit of piece and quiet.

      "A bit of piece"? ;-) So, er, a bit of a bit? Or a piece of a piece?

    If I can get rid of this d*mn cold, I'll get on with the next etched loco kit artwork.

      We'll look forward to the spray patches on the artwork

    Nice weather now the kids are back to school. They should have started back on 1st August!

  12. Jol Wilkinson

    What to do today, build the new Mousa Models LNWR wagon kit, finish the new signals for London Road, install the point rodding, design the production tool for the new carriage underframes? Choices, choices.

  13. Jol Wilkinson

    Just had £1000 worth of heating oil delivered, 50% dearer than in 2005

  14. Jol Wilkinson

    Just had a delivery of LNWR Society publications for sale at expoEM Bracknell

    Lovely weather for modelling, so made start on the signals for London Road.

      Signals!? Good work fella!

      Lovely weather for cutting grass, but I'm having a job settling down to indoor soldering. Presume UR doing the signals in the garden...

  17. Jol Wilkinson

    Is looking forward (not) to several more days of making rodding stools, point cranks, FPLs, etc. and then installing them.

    1. Debs.

      Debs.

      But they`ll look great when they`re done!

    2. coachmann

      coachmann

      Rodding stools? Cut down on the Branflakes.....:)

  18. Jol Wilkinson

    Was at S4N over the weekend, so missed all the drama. Sound like a lot of people didn't take up modelling in the absence of RMWeb.

  19. Jol Wilkinson

    Now back from a rail/cruise in Scotland and off to Scalefour North tomorrow.

    1. skipepsi

      skipepsi

      Damn forgot about that.

  20. Jol Wilkinson

    Wonderful weather today, just right for setting up the woodworking gear in the garden to make the overhead light boxes for the extension to London Road

  21. Jol Wilkinson

    Back from a weeks holiday. A dip into RMWeb shows that life has continued without change.

    1. beast66606

      You caught us just before we started on the froth about the 2013 announcements

    2. Jol Wilkinson

      Jol Wilkinson

      I didn't think that you were that far down the current frothing curve yet.

    3. DavidLong

      Dapol's 7mm 08 seems to have spread some disarray in the community.

  22. Jol Wilkinson

    Off tommorrow for a week in Devon, no more modelling until I get back.

    1. Debs.

      Debs.

      It`ll be Devonly! :-)

      'No more modelling'? - does that mean all of us? Or just yourself?

  23. Jol Wilkinson

    Getting on with assembling the test etch for some new LNWR six wheel carriage kits, no frothing please.

    1. Horsetan

      Horsetan

      Someone hand me a capuccino.

      Now if was LNWR goods brake vans.... Ooo I'm naughty!?!

  24. Jol Wilkinson

    Time for some more modelling, rather than following the sometimes amusing and sometimes depressing responses to the "What's new from Bachmann" topics.

    1. halfwit

      halfwit

      Shame that theres never the same exitement following an etched kit release...

    2. halfwit

      halfwit

      ...or am I on the wrong forum?

  25. Jol Wilkinson

    The dearly beloved is back from NZ, so no more using the kitchen table for model making. At least the weather is milder so the workshop is habitable.
