I'm watching Gilbert & Sullivan at the Proms :-)

Way to go Rich...!-)

You try sorting when you move house... temptation and distraction predominates profusely!

I'm not intending to move. You haven't seen the mess I live/work/create in when upstairs! The problem is having decided I might like some sprinters one day I found out that GF had already released them and these things are, more often than not now, buy it now or risk eBay prices in the future. I do like the level of detail though, and if this is the reason there are so many diesel/electric modellers then I can understand why.

Yeah, he's gone all Regional Railways on us :-)

and about time too!!

That's enough now though: three's a crowd!

I ordered 10, received 11, broke 4, fed the carpet monster the same, found 2, burnt finger, swore lots and have sore eyes but afetr a few trials and false starts there are 2 soldered in parallel atop a piece of micro tube and 3 spare so I win, I think: I have to see if they fit in the body of the signal when the next part is finished.

The smallest "tip" on a 15w iron should be enough. Let multicore be your friend :-)

Keep at it - I'm looking forward to seeing the finished job.

Any particular livery, Rich? I've always liked Centro!

Regional railways. They're what I travelled on as a kid.

I have a 156 and now both a 150/1 and 150/2 on their way.

way to go Rich !-)

One day, a long way away, it might have a diorama to run on, but it will need a motor first because it's a dummy unit. Aside from the TV adverts featuring 125s they are my memory of rail transport from my childhood. I've bought one while I can get still get one at RRP rather than the inflated prices of eBay in the future.

Blog it!!!!!...

I know, just read about 'em in 2mm Mag which arrived today. Wow, superb modelling, Rich!

Okay Pete I will but not right now. Phil, those in the mag were finished a good while back.

I used to get higher figures before I returned to petrol. The book figure combined for this car is 47mpg so I'm doing okay :-)

Blimey Rich - don't you start! We'll be getting miles per status update soon!!

They don't much care on car forums either. Been there, done that.

Hope all goes well, try to relax and answer all questions honestly, best way to get the best treatment.

Thanks guys. According to this doctor there isn't anything in my eye :-/ a confusing relief. That's the good news. The bad news is that the model shop is closed on Tuesdays :-( however the urge for an articulated box on wheels has not gone away.

Good to hear your eyes ok matey!

SRM soon to go mainline too... :-)

Apparently so. There were some very excited drivers talking about it in the cab. The cab is a very strange environment and it must be very hot and noisy in there while it's running.

Blog it Rich...

Patience people: they still need their loads finishing and the under frames need more work. I might have to buy some powders. On a related note why do GW washes smell like sick?

Pete, I have my next blog entry part written but it's really not for the feint hearted - it involves easitrac switch butchery.

Me too, all very inspirational and great pictures.

Blimey. Anything left after two hours hard grind?

Yup. It took me about an hour to take out the material for the motor to fit, going steady. The first of two bodies has now lost most of it's footplate. Just the second one to finish off and then back to their owner for finishing. I've taken some pictures, but I'm going to let him write things up showing the whole process.
