A very quick baseboard has been thrown together for a simple circle to form a test track. Next job is to fix the the track down then get running in some of the recent purchases.

Apparently last night was a good night to sell things to people called David on ebay.

Who says that a little bit of light pottering about in the garden can't involve a couple of saws and an axe?

Wow. Just put several items on ebay. I'm shocked how many already have bids on them.

Graham Farish gears, damn you. 4 out of 6 axels dead.

Rather unimpressed with the amount of flash and associated cleaning up that is required to build a Slaters O gauge wagon chassis.

Recipe, you were forgotten but you have now been rediscovered.

That's some more marrow ginger jam made.

A pint, in a bar, on the beach, watching the sun go down? oh go on then if you insist.

Curry's customer service, now what is the total opposite to excellent?

I appear to have been buying wood from Mr. Bendy at the banana plantation.

I feel some significant bookcase extensions might be required!

1 hour until people start saying how delighted they are with Dapols new models and just as many saying they have nothing for them and they should have done X Y and Z instead.

Very nearly a month after being taken off line at home care of a lightning strike I'm up and running again.

Flash, Crash, Bang. Hello lightning, bye bye internet, phone and TV. Well that was well over a week ago now and it looks like it will be at least another week or two until things are totally sorted.

I wonder how many people watch the party political broadcasts of BBC iplayer?

That's lots of plasticard ordered

When creating models it is important to remember that what was drawn on the engineering plans of the 1850's may have changed in the intervening years.

Paddling straight after work, well when you have been working at a beach it would have been rude not to

5 hours without power this morning was not a good April fools joke from Western Power Distribution

I might have left washing the car a little too long, a trowel was needed to take off some of the mud!

6 trains to go 200 miles. Yesterday's journey was not a good one, especially when advised to get a train that could not possibly meet up with the next one that I needed to get (The one the station staff told me I needed to get).

The tiny modelling budget that I have managed to scrimp together has just disappeared

I think I might have put too much in the garden waste bin. I don't think its axle is as straight as it once was!

you can't control the waves but you can learn to surf
