Do I even want to know why you have a painting of Iggesund from Siddick (aka Red Baron Crossing) in the background of that last shot?!

Looking good, Mike. Very nice.

I'm-a get myself one of those 37425s... very nice!
Cover up the Westie, put some Lakeland Rail logos on the cabsides. Sorted.

Great! Look forward to seeing it at Workington.

Very nice! Glad to see she's faring better than the real thing, which seems to have had some problems.

Us Cumbrian railwaymen
Honorary Cumbrian only old bean! You're not lucky enough to count as an official marrow yet!
I like the new halt though - aren't station lamps a bit too First World for a little shack like that? I'd have thought a bench would have been a bit overkill in that part of the world.

New Campbeltown branch, featuring relocated Caolisport station at the head of the loch.
Question - how exactly does one pronounce Caolisport? Kyle-iz-port or Key-liz-port? (Cao in Irish (possibly Gaelic) is Key)

Have just sacked Draughtsman Matchstalk (and his Cats and Dogs) and am setting to work at rerouting the Ardlui to Loch Fyne Head section. The alternative had been to tunnel from Ardlui to Loch Sloy but the tunnel borers ran out of sausage and bean pies so a new route had to be arranged.
Here we are...
Working on the Campbeltown extension now. Where's the junction off the main? Only feasible location seems to be Inverneill and then send it down the east coast of the peninsula to Tarbert.

Far too much time on my hands today, Mike, so I had a go at surveying your route from Ardlui to Caolisport! It includes a tunnel to the east of Inveraray and a nice viaduct across the head of the loch at Ardrishaig, near Lochgilphead.

Good choice with the gorse - reminds me of blasting south from Workington North with a good 47 on, the noise echoing off the warehouses and temporary Tesco on the left, before the embankment covered in gorse and the bridge to the docks. Ah, nostalgia. (if it's two weeks ago, can it be nostalgic?)
Now where did I put those biscuits? You know, the ones with the blue wrappers...

Now then,
I am I alone in spending more time doing diagrams for the locos and stock rather than modelling? Think I may be missing the point when it comes to this model railway thing .
Does everybody else spend more time doing scenery etc etc.
cheers

No, you're not alone Herr Clag.
It's coming along very nicely - got a bit too excited by the shot of the 7 37/4s and needed mansized kleenex and a pack of Jaffa Cakes to calm me down. Might have to invest in one for my own layout...

Shame about the Red Baron - though wasn't it a Pink Baron with a Santa Claus by the end of the six months?
There'll still be the bridge of course... at least, until it falls down. And the pie shop. Mmm, especially the pie shop.
