Well the last few years have been pretty hectic with moving around – we have moved again and it is our 3rd home in 3 years. However – the best news is – this is our forever home – or at least our very, very long term home. The bad news about this move is that – my time has been sucked away into house repairs almost continually! This has left little time for modelling. The other very bad news about the house move from a modelling perspective, is that although I have lots of opportunity for a modelling room – I do not currently have a room where I can operate my layouts. This is limiting layout progress, so I am currently focusing on building some wagons.
Alongside the Conflat A/Lowfit I have been tinkering with a Parkside Fruit D in OO gauge. This will be onw of the final wagons to go in my engineering olive green train. It is interesting how small I am finding the OO gauge wagons now – they are tiny in comparison to the O gauge stuff. I think that once I have finished the detailing on Pottington Quay – I might solely focus on O gauge – as I am finding it a much more enjoyable scale to model in. However – I will keep the Pottington Quay layout for running trains in OO gage as I have previously finished off so many trains and kits! There has also been a little painting going on recently – the O gauge class 25 is nearly completion, amongst other projects – so some little slow, but steady progress.
