Waiting at Wooferton for a B1 on an excursion heading to Shrewsbury on the old LNWR/GWR joint - Wooferton is no longer a junction or even a station, but there's still a signal box, refuge siding and (G)WR signalling.
-
CKPR has taken the first steps into 7mm modelling...more details to follow on the pre-grouping forum.
-
I've just bought my first 7mm kit...well, second if you count the 3H open wagon I bought in 1976.
-
Friday night liquid poly disaster - only one wagon a complete write off but will have to dig into my precious stocks of MAJ wagon parts to make good the damage to the others.
-
Two Tri-ang clerestories just bought off Ebay and waiting to be cut up to make a C22 all third...
-
The move back into active modelling is increasingly taking the form of a reversion to my original 1970's interest in the GWR...that's a 1970s take on modelling the GWR, all Prototype kits buildings, Ratio signalling, ABS wagons, Mallard etched brass engines and Dart Castings / Pendon fittings, all washed down with J.H.Russell's OPC books.
-
Slowly getting back into railway modelling - two scratch-builds of M&CR engines are back on the temporary workbench on the kitchen table and I've started on a Mallard '517' kit to be built 'straight back and Swindon style' a la Iain Rice.
-
Listening to Hawkwind and assembling IKEA shelving- no railway modelling this evening then.
-
60 feet of LMC coarse scale three-rail O gauge track purchased at a local exhibition for £35. That should fit in with my EM and HO activities...

Lovey day at ExpoEM North and particularly impressed with 'Hungerford' (aka the portable Pendon ?), 'Seahouses' and Broom Jct, [ SMJR].
