Back working on Bishops Park... but realised I might have rushed ahead of myself... I've made no provision for wiring it up... schoolboy mistake.

Layout all wired up, not a bad for first project entirely unassisted. Now off for some serious Testing (Playtime) :-D

What a 25th Birthday - spent several hours in the garden today, basking in the sunshine. Cutting, Sanding & priming the Plywood for the summer budget BLT project. Happy Birthday me!

Testing the neat PVA Ballasting technique... I think I've not done it right however

Guess who is a happy boy... Weekend Off; Postie arrived with Hudswell Clarke... off to solder droppers to some track. O Gauge looks like bliss.

Officially worst day off ever...

Why is it when I am dreaming and I have to get a train its either a 4-CIG or 1938 Tube Stock... and if its a nightmare its a 4-VEP...

Odd... there is no way the #1 pin on this decoder & in this tender can go together; Stop... its time for a brew and wait for all this to blow over.

I hate it when I am told something cannot be done... More so when I HAVE seen it done & operational. There is no such word as "can't"negativity is just a challenge.

Modelling can be trying... adding headcode disks to the Well Tank... Glue turns the disks into what looks like chewing gum = one large sticky mess to scrape off the loco...

Bah! Balls to it! Hand me my Soldering Iron its the one with "BMF" on the handle...

Has the new Hornby A1X on order.

London Transport Red!!! How I have missed you... perhaps the paint fumes have affected me. ;-)

Writers block... kinda Frustrating. I'll write my timetable for the layout instead.

Considering buying Hattons Bargain Heljan 33/0. Any recommendations? or one to avoid?

Never knew how complicated DCC could be... Isn't it supposed to be simpler?

Ha! fixed the issue with my 2nd M7 - I now have a brace of them for duty!

T9 managed to smash its way through some buffers and nose dive off the board. Seems undamaged - infact its haulage abilities seem to have improved somewhat... However not Matloughe recommended advice to fix it.

Just ordered a BR Green 2-EPB. I am definitely still a 'Southern' supporter at heart.

Just attacked my Acton Shuttle with paint... I am undecided - I need to keep reminding myself its just a base coat. And that I had got used to seeing it in MilkyBar cream colour.

It's alive! The Ginny Moves!!!

Settled on OO Gauge - for now at least. New Layout underway... its always exciting a new project - especially when the baseboards are complete already.

Currently attempting to repair an A4 Pacific - anyone know how to pop a tire back on the Hornby Pony Truck? Provided I can get the pony truck off that is...
