what are people doing on their layout right now

Made another Nightstar sleeper coach, now clearing up stuff and having a tidy.

Next job is finishing off some ETR500 coach shells while Shapeways is doing its 20% off polished WSF offer. Those will go with the Del Prado end cars and a Linea motorising kit.

At the moment I'm trying to work myself up to fitting another point motor. But as I now have a working oval afraid I'm playing with some trains

Welcome to my world, Mike

Waiting for the glue to dry after laying down the grass mat.

Painting up the last five clay wagons to go with the class 22. I've just noticed one of the buffers has gone walkies

I've just finished painting 10 ICI hoppers with their main body colour and I should really be prepping my layout for a trip out in 9 days time. But there are still 9 days so no panic yet....

I'll post a picture of the wagons when I've finally got the missing buffer and two brake wheels on and painted, and the transfers on....

I lied, here they are without the transfers!

Just unpacking Class 52 'D1000 Western Enterprise' from Osborns (and I managed to sneak in Class 22 D 6319 past SWMBO as well

).

First impressions of the Western... Gorgeous

Can't wait to run it in...

Still looking for that buffer

but did manage to an arty photo last night - and down to four clay wagons to finish.

Had to catch "the last train home" last night from a grim visit to see my wife in hospital. There is something very atmospheric about seeing a late night train slide into a station when it's cold, dark and there's hardly anyone there. Definitely got something of that feeling in this photo; well done!

Cheers NeMo

Started to remove some of General Clutter's last stand from the layout so I can hopefully connect some track to the turntable, and maybe even run some trains; also started a similar operation on the work bench. Just don't try opening any drawers, otherwise known as Clutters final retreat(s)

That General must have an identical twin in Sevenoaks!
