Typical!


Yet again apologies for the very lapse updating of my blog.  Quite a lot has been happening work and home wise but I have done quite a bit to the layout but no pictures just yet.

Back to title of the post 'Typical' - I've been 'halfway' converting an old airfix/dapol castle into a Star for a few months years and now they are brining out something better than I can ever achieve plus Blue Spot Fish Vans after amassing old Wrenn, Dapol etc ones (many in need of a lot of TLC) over the last few years!  The new ones are going to be a lot better, correct underframes etc.  Your begin to wonder why you bother sometimes....

Wrenn - White gone quite yellow!

More Blue Pullman playing

Playing about after moving baseboards around half the day by getting the 8 car 'conversion' set out (and holding together with gravity!) to put the two side by side. Also the four extra spare cars in the bay... It also highlights that I need a bigger room for longer platforms.....!

Blue Pullman unpackaged

Again another quick post but I have now had the Pullman out of the box properly but due to the layout still being in lots of bits can't connect it all together and test it!

A few pics follow with my Triang/Kitmaster coversion being an interloper...  It does highlight the touch up needed following the fitting of the LEDs in the front though!
