what are people doing on their layout right now

I dropped a soldering iron on a dapol hymek....  

Some would say that wasn't a bad thing !

Who! Sacrilege! It's a lovely little model* of a great little engine!

Cheers, NeMo

*Once you figure out you'll be feeding it bogie tower gear wheels on a regular basis so lay in a few for replacement!

Right now it's hidden away from my Nephew & Niece's... and I am asking myself why did I not paint the board before pinning the track down. 

Will attempt to lift what I have put down and paint the board, it will be all over grey to start off with, as the railway I have based it on was built around a boating lake, did think about cutting the middle out to create the lake but the board would become very flimsy and would probably snap in two (no earthquakes in Southend!) I might attempt to chisel out a bit to create a reses but will probably just end up painting it blue.

Don't worry... I bought a dummy one and used the body, mine was actually a great runner - but i sold it in the end to help pay for my NCE powercab controller. Dapol Hymeks don't have the best reputation hence my cheeky comment !

Just finished building the Parkwood kit of the older LMS/GWR shunters. Its slightly late for the LMS stuff I have but will make an interesting addition to the kettles and 1831 (the original LMS diesel shunter)

Nothing now.
Trying to decide wether to scrap the Brickworks Layout and or stick it in the loft and do something different.

Creating drawings for case/cover for 'black sheep lane'. The plan is to frame the front of the layout and then add discreet lighting.

I have to draw a plan as just random wood cutting always ends in disaster !

I'm not doing anything on my layout (unfortunately) but I will be laying some 1:1 bricks in my 1:1 back garden later.

Well, when I say "not doing anything" I'm still buying loads of stock if that counts.

Ditto but decorating rather than bricklaying.
