Well that's it, 13 years of the Hercules in Afghanistan came to an end with the last two arriving back at Brize last night. One of which brought me back from my last suntan tour, been an emotional 13 years working on them out there, now back to business as usual.

Off to Pendon today!

So glad this work day is nearly over, looking forward to a few cheeky ciders and some modelling tonight to see me through swing shift!

Ahhhh finally able to tinker and see some progress being made on the layout. Happy bunny mode!

Has got promoted!

The Blue 52 is here! WOOOOO!

Enjoying a nice lazy Sunday wiring the layout in the lounge as SWMBO looks on with concern at the mess I'm making!

Good day at the Calne show catching up with lots of old mates. Then a fun fettling the layout with Mr B, good weekend all round!

Track laid, droppers fitted and soldered. Few days at work then back to fit point motors and fit everything to the busbar!

After 6 months of planning, saving and hording I finally have laid the track for my layout! Just the fun of electrics now.

Fun day a Chippenham show, was great catching up with so many friends and the standard of layouts was superb. Last fix of railways for 10 weeks. They don't have trains in the Falklands!!

Had a cracking weekend operating Gladstone Road at Trainwest at weekend. Ankle is suffering now but it was worth it!

Had a fun day on the watercress line with Mr B, Convinced him he should get an O gauge wagon kit as he is finding those OO 3 links harder to find! Oh and drove my new van back through some fun snowy roads, nice time to find out you have rear drive!
