About Me

My photo
When i left school back then i was lucky enough to enroll on an engineering apprenticeship. I think this lead me in good stead. I was always one of those children that pulled things apart but actually put them back together again. My first engine given to me at the age of Seven, a Triang Princess Elizabeth. The rest as they say is History. Later in life i got back in to Model Railways and started building Pine Road. This could lead anywhere so i hope you enjoy my Blog.

Catching up

Hi all.
I thought it was time to catch up on a few things.
The Gate set and the Adams G6 took over from all the other projects that i had on the go.
Anyone that knows me knows that i hate lots of jobs on the go at one time.
First job, put couplings on this lovely Lswr round top 5 plank wagon and a bit of a clean up. It was weathered so much that you couldn't actually see the LSWR lettering. Job number 1 done.
This cattle van was built some years ago from a kit. Know idea from what kit but again needed "Sprat & Winkle" couplings and a clean up. Job number 2 done.
  This is the tender from the Adams A12. Another kit started some time ago, all ready for linning out. Its now been lined, lettered and numbered 644, shedded at Exmouth 1927 to 1936 so fits in perfectly with my fleet.
A coat of Satin varnish and some real coal added.
 Job number 3 done.
Of course, where the loco i hear you cry, well, its being lined out.
with a few other details to add.
Job 4 nearly done.
That will bring us up to date.
Wonder what the next project is going to be...... start of a new layout!
