Something new and shiny and distinctly non-GWR arrived in the post this morning.



Despite my devotion to all things with copper caps, I have finally succumbed to EMU-itis. It was a bargain and I wanted something to run alongside RevolutioN's forthcoming 321 and 313. No idea where I will run it course. I have ideas for a minories-based layout. Something like Moorgate except that it received suburban trains off the WCML to give them access to the City and relieve congestion at Euston.

Now where did I put that track planner?

Its always good to have modelling eras that do not overlap.

I got rid of all my 1980s second generation stuff, but then I discovered crimson-cream, so I just shunted my three periods back to 1948-1978 rather than 56-86.

I'm tempted to move all my 1970s era modelling into OO, as I have the basis of a nice set of blue-grey and blue EMUs, and some nice 07 dock shunters, but they are so big I cant run eight car trains :(

I don't know whether to admire that or think he's lost his marbles  ;)

I never thought I'd see the day, Matt.

It's good to have different focuses though, helps maintain the enthusiasm. I have something similar in my transition UK main layout and smaller North American present day set-up.

I shall look forward to seeing what you do with it all.

If you know someone who's depressed, please resolve never to ask them why. Depression isn't a straightforward response to a bad situation; depression just is, like the weather.Try to understand the blackness, lethargy, hopelessness, and loneliness they're going through. Be there for them when they come through the other side. It's hard to be a friend to someone who's depressed, but it is one of the kindest, noblest, and best things you will ever do."
