Well, thanks for the positive comments chaps (the cheques are in the post). Reports of my demise are slightly exaggerated.
I still like to dip into the madness of ANTB now and again, it helps keep me (in)sane!
I had to shut Mattingley Custom down as I have too many other things going on currently. I still have commissions outstanding from last year; ask Rob, he's one of my victims! On top of that I started a new job in January and that has been full-on (I've had to learn things!) and I am trying to get the house(bombsite?) up together in order to sell up and move on, although there is little sign of progress yet.
Once I am moved in and settled down, my intention is to take on commissions again. However, exactly when that will be, I don't know.

Here's a pic I took of 34101 with 34029 in the background last September, the wind fairly took your breath away, but it was a great day to visit North Devon.
