Managed to get one point compete, I was hoping for more to be done but had a pike of ironing and other chores to do 🙄 I’ve also done a short update video with a little bit if bonus footage of some Merseyrail action from this mornings walk Paul

Thanks Rod the buses are just various ones I’ve found on eBay, I’m not very well up on buses although I’ve got very fond memories of Atlanteans on the 28,29 and 55 route as I grew up in Litherland. As for the routes I’m not sure but there’s a few fellas in work who are into their buses and own a few so I’ll ask next time I see them. We actually had the ‘Dulux’ bus at our wedding so I had to get that when I seen it. I just need to learn how to weather these and add interior lights etc. Paul

Managed an hour on the bridge today so posed some vehicles on just to give an idea of how it’ll look Paul

Thanks Scott she definitely loves cuddles, plays then just flops onto to you, she looks a lot smaller in real life to. Paul

Finally a bit of track building today, I had four pairs of blades to make so made them up today and got the chairs threaded on two pairs. Also took the opportunity to take some pics of the ballast in the sun. Paul
-
Hi Scott yes she’s a rag doll, she has got blue eyes they just don’t show up very well on the pics, just tried to get a better pic but she’s a bit playful at the moment 😂

Evening mate I think Mike had answered that better then I can, he’s pretty good at these kind of things, I’ve been picking his brains for months 😂 Paul

Early shifts really don’t favour modelling time but I have managed ten mins this morning, I’m long weekend but up early as we need to travel to Nottingham to pick up a new addition to the family. I know it’s not much but it’s progress I’m hoping to have Tuesday to myself so I’ll be cracking on with the points and maybe even the framework as once that is built and the track is wired up I can install then ground position signal 😃 Paul

Ground position signal arrived on Friday but I missed the postie so I’ll have to collect that on Tuesday, I really need a day were I can get a good couple of hours and I can crack on with the track but due to work and school strikes modelling time is just the odd 20 minutes here and there. Work has continued on the bridge but since using foamex fir most things recently the card pavements I’ve made dint seem to be cutting it for me so I might re do this with foamex which is not a big deal and will probably look better in the long run, it’ll certainly be stronger anyway. Quite looking forward to getting to the stage of weathering this and adding the street lights and little details. Paul

I’ve heard about these I really need to get myself one as I’ve heard really good things about them. Paul

Evening matey here’s a link to the one I bought https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/354405506274?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=nptdmal8r2q&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=iFtnEPyxTtq&var=623814943831&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY Hope that helps Paul

I definitely think Moshiri is to blame Rod, on a positive your new ground is looking very good. Paul
-
Do you think you’ll go down mate? I did watch last nights game and it was quite scary how you fell apart though. Paul
-
Keeping it well hidden this disastrous season 🙄🤦🏻♂️

Could be worse could be the blue half of the city 🤭

More on the roadway done yesterday so put them loosely together today just to give an idea of how it will look. The strip of plastic in the middle of the roadbed will run the entire length as this will give the road its camber. Since returning to EM I must admit I really regret not persisting with it the first time around, I know I’ve learnt a lot since especially dabbling with 7mm but if I’d of stuck with it I might of actually had a finished layout! I suppose things happen for a reason… 🙄 Paul
