Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's layout.

Watching a choo-choo train (I believe it's called a 4F by those in the know) circling slowly around my trainset with some goods wagons behind it. Bliss. Moments when you forget all the hassle of this marvellous hobby!
-
Excellent. I've gone from only having one coupling standard to three completely incompatible systems. Progress!
-
Just spotted a location on Springwatch which I recognised instantly due to my S&D trackbed recognition superpowers.
-
Had a good clear out yesterday, binned lots of tatty old junk I'd been keeping for years. Very therapeutic.
-
Had one of those moments last night when I looked at the train set and thought, that doesn't look half bad old chap.

My Lima class 31 with Ultrascale wheels can't pull the skin off a rice pudding. That's all right though as I prefer Ambrosia tinned rice which tends not to have a skin.

After a week away from my toys I did some detailing work on a Black 5 which has had the Brassmasters treatment, added Gibson wheels to an 8F pony truck, and completed my first DCC installation in a Lima diesel. Pretty good evening, very satisfying.

Still using a bottle of Eames solder flux - about half the bottle still left, and I haven't tipped it over yet.

Thinking of a layout based on the internal railway system of Willy Wonka's chocolate factory, with Oompah-Loompahs running the trains, etc.

Had a great time at Railex. Thanks to PMP for letting me play trains on Albion, and to my co-operators for great company.

Attempted two simple modelling jobs last night - made a right dog's dinner of both of them.

The first rule of RMweb is that you do not talk about RMweb.

Very tempted by one of these "Beattie" well tanks, but unfortunately my local branch of Beatties closed twelve years ago. Please advise. TIA.

It's 106 miles to Stow on the Wold, we've got half a tank of gas and a full pack of wine gums, it's dark and the layout is in the car and I'm wearing Specsavers glasses. Hit it!
-
Brought Cogirep down from the attic to test and spruce up in readiness for its 9th and 10th exhibitions - quite surprised it's had this much exposure given that it was not meant to be exhibited. Any other 2007 challenge layouts still doing the rounds?
-
Something's wrong. I've just had a run of problem-free decoder installations. This can't last.

Getting the bits ready to do a Franco-Crosti 9F

I don't mind ballasting. There, I've said it.
-
Passed Tangmere at Hereford - nice surprise.
-
Didn't have to use my AK. Guess that means it was a good day. Plus, a model train magazine has arrived in the post.
Still.....only 1 week to RM Shindig!
