  3. Just been told my mother died last night... just lost my greatest fan

  4. Just bought the Hornby Pendennis castle in OO for 75 pounds here in Belgium... with the austerity 2-8-0 from Bachmann I purchased earlier this week from gaugemaster, I'm quite thrilled by the idea of them riding on my club's layout...

  5. Moving out to a 3-days exhibition in Li

  6. Still at work till 1 PM, but soon to be back in the workshop with those late Xmas gifts (GWR Macaw bolster bogie wagon kits & other GWR wagons...) Oh, and without forgetting to wish you a Happy New Year 2014 filled with loads of Train Fun !

  8. Just received the book "More Model Buildings in 4 & 7 mm scale" by Geoff Taylor today as an early Xmas gift... That's gonna give me inspiration to work on my models this week-end...

  9. Back in the Workshop to work on another building project for my Leddysh Gate Locomotive facilities...

  10. Just had a wonderfull three hours worth of relaxation working on my GWR Coaling Stage. The pictures are in the Leddysh Gate's workshop...

  11. Started weathering two clay hoppers for a fellow modeller... Time to get the weathering powders out of their box again...

  12. Finally having a week off, and of course I'm back again in front of my computer working hard on the last chapters of my weathering book... Just plain typical of me... never able to stop working even when I'm not at work !...

      I'd be delighted if you would agree to proof read it... I'm still in the process of editing the text right now, but as soon as I've got it done, I'll come back to you.

      Thanks for the proposal.

  13. Ha ! It worked... Lightened a candle to Saint Rita, and after a night of rain, Tadaaaa !!! It's sunny here in Li

      I'll coming off the ferry at Zeebrugge on Friday morning,can you make sure the rain has gone by then?

      I can try, but I'm not sure my "Sunny dance" would be quite fine... I'm more known for my classical "Rain Dance"... Like in august in the Ardennes when I just had to swallow back my words when, just after I said "That's a nice sky backdrop there", it really started to pour like if they opened all the taps up there : a H.U.G.E. rain wall !!!

      And according to the National Meteorology Institutes's previsions, we should at the best have a m...

  15. First exhibition day is over. Seen lots of people there, and also quite some fine layouts. There's this French O scale layout in front of us with a wonderfull depot and on the other side a fine crossing with the signal tower (Saxby, wooden) and also a fine masonery bridge over a river... That one is really worth a visit. I'll post pictures tomorrow night.

      Thank you, guys.

  23. Pffff.... Never knew that the installation and configuration of 4 new PC's would prove that difficult... Mainly because it's fine outside and I'm locked behind a desk all day...

  24. Now that I'm better, starting again to work on the models for my weathering book... But Damn that Peco tank wagon kit... Impossible to fix the coupler in place ! (I tried to adapt a Kadee n

  25. Sneezing like crazy ... Stinking rotten weather ... Thanks God for the perfect cure: Tea & Scotch Whisky

      Does it work for hayfever sufferers?

      Bless you!

      alderson.eric.j

      Ah... Sorry to say that, Horsetan, but I fear it does not work for that... The main result of my "cure" is to induce a good "sweat". You drink it before going to bed and you sweat the cold out of your system in a few days... Also another effect is that it helps you sleep (imagine trying to sleep when sneezing like crasy...)
