Total frustration, 2 hours chasing a short and there is still some stray current getting to a point frog in the fiddle yard.

Just finished wiring another baseboard, twenty one down only six to go.

Just broke my New years resolution and strted a New Loco Kit as I had got bored with wiring control panels.

First New Year resolution broken. Got bored with wiring control panels so started a new loco kit and enjoyed it.

Wakefield show set up has started. Thursday evening went well eith plenty of willing helpers.

Just packed the car with Green Ayre ready to set off to Warley tommorrow.#

More choices. 1 watch X factor on catch up with SWMBO or 2 Typeset the showguide for Wakefield. It's a no brainer no 2.of course.

The day gets better, the new etches for Green Ayre have just arrived and look great.

Must have been agood 60th birthday party last night I spent 5 minutes at the bottle bank posting the empties.

Thought I'd just lost 3 hours of CAD work then learnt how to use Autosave. Phew.

With SWMBO in Tenerife and the show over decision time, Top Gun or the Horse Whisperer on DVD, The Horse Whisperer won.

Why is correcting artwork for etches such a ballache. I suppose it's worth it in the end.

Oh Dear, X Factor has restarted and Sunday morning's peace and qiuoet has been ruined as SWMBO watches it on catch up. Perhaps some modelling is the only answer.

Just off for another day working on the layout building backscenes.

Just had a good evening wiring relays at the clubrooms. Made all the better by seeing Scots Guardsman go past on the Scarbourough Spa.

62 down, 16 to go, glueing glazing into the platfrom awnings for Green Ayre.

Having spent 2 days tidying the modelling room I've found all sorts, a piece of flooring, 2 axlebox covers and several useful photos. Trouble is I've not got any modelling done.

2 days work wiring the layout for the open day, 2 blown bridge rectifiers and at last the first loco moves under power though pointwork, controilled from the panel. 2 years 3 months since the first bit of track was laid.

Cats fed, Dishwasher emptied, Ironing done, wife in France, off to the club for a day of layout wiring. Sounds like a good plan to me.

My poor brain's addled from trying to connect up wiring. 12 out of 15 relays working can't find the fault on the last set. Sleep beckons.

Really looking forward to a day paintin g the bandstand at Crich in the rain.

Sat in the shade in the entracne to my garage soldering relays. 7 out of 15 done so far.

Ten years ago this morning I finished my last shift at work with lot of kits to build waiting in the wardrobe. How come there are still as many boxes and unfinished ones?
