Wow... some random searching and found a website for a model shop that's been shut for at least 10 years, but the website is still going even if it's not updated. http://www.hendfordhalt.co.uk/

The Twilight Web.....
(As the Eagles noted "You can check out any time you want, but you can never leave...")
Now looks like a private house

If you can't watch this and smile then there's something wrong with you...

Not something you see every day.

2016... hopefully the year I finally give up all these half-finished projects, consign them to the bin, and actually build a proper layout (once I've cleared the crap in the spare room)
-
32" x 10" board spare... do I bin it or is there an option for a working plan there?

73201 and 73107 on a yellow train just gone past the office window into London Bride. Nice change from units. Preferred it when the 37's did the run though, they made the windows rattle.

A birthday with no railway related presents. Glad I treated myself last week at Hattons

A flash of inspiration... design the baseboards to suit the track plan - not mess with the track plan to suit the baseboards. Genius... although seemingly known by most of RMWeb... why didn't I pick it up before?

A good morning's modelling so far, only two plasters needed.

A hole has opened up under the railway line in South London. Network Rail are looking into it. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-36826936

A speaker at a children's Harvest Festival asked the children to name some of the things they could see on display. "Carrots" shouted one. "Peas" said another. "Cabbages" replied a third. "Now, can anyone tell me a word that covers all these things," asked the Vicar. "Gravy" came a yell from the back of the Church.

Accidently ordered a Dapol Gronk. Oops.

Ain't never known a night like it, and ain't looking forward to the journey home neither.

Another announcement missing the Dace wagon...

Anyone who worries about laying flat track... look here for inspiration http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NOHwZF4VzvU

Apa box goes back in cupboard, can't do what I wanted in the space, so it's now a 4ft x 21" board with two 3ft x 1ft fiddle yards that will go on each end in due course. Just need to dig some space out now to put the board up on its trestles.

appears to have been commissioned by our Finance Director to build a small layout to rest on a couple of low cabinets in his office... this could be interesting.

Something like that. He's got a Hornby DCC controller so I'll lend him one of my sound fitted locos to wake people up if meetings get a bit tedious in there. Probably only be a simple fiddle yard to terminus with a couple of sidings thing but it's the idea rather than a detailed reproduction of a prototype that I think he's after - which is good because I don't have the time to stretch my skills that much!

Asked a shop if they stocked code 75. "No, it's rubbish". I disagree.
-
At last the shed is ordered... £3k all in, suits me just fine and dandy.
-
Awesome. My package, which I've been waiting for to be delivered from the US, was apparently delivered at 7.11am this morning. Even if that's taking into account the timezones, I certainly haven't received a parcel. Harumph.

Awoken from my work slumbers by top and tail DRS 37's on a yellow test train going past the office window leaving London Bridge. Dreadful!
