Well I joined the O Gauge Guild now...

Fed up with my T9...

I'd forgotten the stench of Copydex after all these years... Right time for some tea - and cake then back to check on the cork and how well its adhered to the board.

My work story is a bit like the GCML... Last in - First out. I hate fixed term contract renewals, more so when its not renewed...

Yay! Conductor Rail, Conductor Rail, Conductor Rail!!! Where is my 2-EPB... I need to do some purely scientific observations about 3rd Rail Location & Gauging. ;-)

Is going to have to rethink the positioning of Conductor Rail on the layout. A quick play this morning reveals gapping at the station throat... It'll give me something to think about at work.

Don't you just love it when experimenting with the full-sized plan and you realise you can fit a couple more coaches then you initially thought into the station - and it doesn't look cramped. :-D

I think I've come up with a workable 00 Gauge Plan. Perhaps some playtesting and critique is required...

Wondering if the light is good enough to start painting the Maplewood Floor of my Acton Shuttle... Perhaps I'll just get some research images instead.

How Saturdays were meant to be; undertaking a programmed wheeldrop on the 7mm Scale fleet. With Windows Media Player playlist on shuffle & Hearts of Iron ticking away in the background... Plus a pot of tea. Bliss.

Was just making a cup of tea and the Postie delivers my O Gauge Guild welcome pack!!! Some light reading methinks.

Off work sick... but am I well enough to go to Railex tomorrow...

All track fettled into place, mess cleared up, and that joyful moment of watching the first locomotive movement - accompanied by the sound of a bottled beverage being opened... bliss

Back in employment! Yay! Now means I will have an actual income to spend on modelling rather then new models being in BR livery!

Ah so that's coarse scale 7mm... looks a little odd watching my shunter pitch & roll over Peco Pointwork...

Spending my evening cutting horrible moulded lining off of a Hornby Mark I BFK... Anyone suggest some good bodyfiller?

Anyone part of Ilfracombe MRS?

Off to wander some of the Ilfracombe Branch.

Suddenly understands why most modellers mention that brake rigging is a fiddly & slightly irritating job.

First O Gauge Wagon is a complete rolling chassis, bodywork done. All I need to do is add details. Very Happy!

Hornby is going to have to make some new R numbers for the track I've just taken a hacksaw to...
