    Injured my right wrist working on the boat. I can't do anything useful, let alone modelling at present.

      Best thing to be working on if that's going to happen!

    I found that small fingers had been poking at freshly ballasted track this morning. I might threaten to chop them off...

      My daughter won't eat tinned Heinz spagetti with sausages after I told her the "sausages" were actually the fingers of small children caught tampering with things. The parent of the year award passes me by yet again.

      CK might want to have a closer look at what he's eating in future....!

      Best not to go sleep-walking when camping near Cleethorpes.

    Hello Ricard, good-bye taste buds.

      Pastis. Like Pernod.

      Ah....pastis....

      Skinny Decaf Mocha Latte with extra foam...

    Out of nowhere, my interest in 1st generation DMUs has been rekindled. I have the urge to model some late 80s hybrid sets!

      May I recommend the Stockport-Stalybridge Wickhams Hybrid of the 1980s?

      Ayrshire line immediately prior to electrification is the ultimate hybrid-fest?

    Trying layout work to distract me from migraine. Not a good idea, it works the other way round.

  9. Taigatrommel

    I think I should get rid of Bad Horn to force me to build something new.

      A longer term project is already started, but I'd like to do another small project to a higher standard.

      Also, how do you know? ;)

      Oh, I had just been thinking about models I had bought on one occasion, and then eventually sold off when the concept they had been intended for did not prove viable.

  10. Taigatrommel

    Less than two weeks until I cut wood for the new project: KBS 510.

  11. Taigatrommel

    Only just found out that Templot is now free! I feel silly having wasted a couple of weeks' potential design time... can I get things nailed in a week?

  12. Taigatrommel

    Shaved my beard off to start Movember with a blank slate.

      eastwestdivide

      You've had a slate under your beard all this time?!

      I always grow a beard for the winter month's normally starting in Movember and shaving it off at Sester.

  13. Taigatrommel

    In Dresden for a fortnight, with a view of KBS 230 from my window. Cracking, saw an ex-DR V60 dragging an Alstom Prima earlier.

      Was this a SNCF one leased to ITL or one in Akiem livery?

      Somewhat jealous...

    Getting keys to new house on Wednesday- modelling can resume!

    Zwei Gürteltiere!

      NGT6 1315

      Interessante Haustiere oO .

  16. Taigatrommel

    I have enough stress on my plate arranging a 12,000 mile move without playing modelling politics.

    1. Taigatrommel

      Taigatrommel

      Yep- and there's rather a lot to sort out!

  17. Taigatrommel

    Filling in quote forms to get Bad Horn shipped to the UK for Stormex.

      Could this be a world record?

      Won't they let you carry it as hand luggage? :-D

    3. Taigatrommel

      Taigatrommel

      It would fit as airline checked baggage, however, I'm going home via Malaysia and lugging a layout around wouldn't be much fun!

  18. Taigatrommel

    Tempted to buy an Easybuild 108.

  19. Taigatrommel

    Dare I dive into the EMU drawer?

    1. NGT6 1315

      NGT6 1315

      Why not? :-) May I ask what you have in mind?

      watch out for rod hull

  20. Taigatrommel

    Todays conclusion: even a simple test rig should be planned rather than simply using existing frames.

  21. Taigatrommel

    Matinee Idle on the radio... must be my cue to go out to the garage and continue work on the layout.

  22. Taigatrommel

    Booked flights to Kuala Lumpur on the spur of the moment. Who says I'm indecisive?

  23. Taigatrommel

    Should I go and start dismantling Steinrücken?

  24. Taigatrommel

    Having a go at making my own grass tufts on the back of a baking tray with mininatur strands and my high voltage tea strainer.

    Painting people to forget my DCC problems
