      And universities want first attempts, not resits.

      Stick at the A levels, try to understand the subjects rather than just what the exams require!

      I'm managing to balance A levels with workshop time, so far succeeding, looks encouraging. I really dont intend to resit, and i did pretty well in the GCSEs, so fingers crossed nothing goes wrong, uni or higher apprenticeship, then onto uni beckons... Luckily i get my subjects!

    Another very fruitful day up at the midland railway centre butterley, crawling over yet more wagons!

  9. London cambrian

    have got the right drawings, now to rebuild a 5 inch gauge brake van!

  10. London cambrian

    is a happy man. Pannier valve gear is set, giving good events and now I need to drill the last dew oil wells, reassemble and I can make a new gear rack, before air test. Makes me very happy!

  11. London cambrian

    The marathon loco strip, paint paint and rebuild begins! rolling chassis, to kit if parts and back in 3 days, no mean feat in 5 inch gauge!

  12. London cambrian

    Is it just me or has anyone else have a huge collection of drawings for rolling stock they'd love to build lying around? Currently i have, 3 different sets of designs for GWR toplights, including the slip coaches, a GW Coral A, GW american type bogies, GW 4 wheel coaches, slip gear, Met Railway coachs, District railway coaches, GW siphon G, GW milk brake, GW Beetle cattle wagon and countless locomotive GAs,including 28xx and 72xx. Just me then?

      I'm doing quite well for Met Railway electric stock drawings.

      I think you'll find that your collection is just a drop in the ocean compared to what some people have managed to accumulate!

      oh even I'll admit the coach is quality! two were on the table this last week. the other three ate on the shelf behind. they are big suckers, and little details can't be worked on in a small area!

    great two days down at the Greystones railway in bath with Dinmore manor and kempenfelt, amongst others, running 5 inch gauge railway operations

  18. London cambrian

    just got back from running the 5 inch gauge stock in Swindon. Still wet and cold, watching the f1, dreading having to unload the car!

    oh the wonders of the British library system. borrowed 2 books from which need two drawings, and so save me the 30 odd quid I would have spent to buy the books for two drawings!

  22. London cambrian

    Peak district tomorrow? could it be a revisit to the monsal trail and the midland manchester main line, lets hope so folks!

  23. London cambrian

    starting up a blog, then back to the grindstone of 5 inch gauge modelling

  24. London cambrian

    Time for some bigger boys toys!

  25. London cambrian

    Is it me or was model rail live rubbish?

      I totally agree. It did not quite know if it was a depot open day or model rail exhibition. I also thought there was not enough variety of the layouts. And the wheelchair access was very poor. Sorry rant over!
