Technically as I'm temporarily 400 miles from the layouts not a lot.
But, soon...

Tiree (N) at the MRC , is waiting for me to do interboard wiring, and add one non scenic track.

Heigham Furlgate (N), I've been designing a support system for the layout, once that's made, it's dropper installation time, plus river bank scenery. The boards are too short for fold up legs... Other solutions are required.

DeCoville (009) work temporarily suspended as HF has a higher priority till the weather gets cold. HF is in the mobile home and I won't be heating it just for a couple of hours in the winter, DC is in the house..

Ludgershall ( EM) has been in long term suspension due to rats eating through the floor of the shed and the sheds back door. Hopefully this has been solved, but there is a lot of clearing up to do before work can restart next summer.

When I was exhibiting at TINGS, I spotted a very nice-looking 3D-printed lattice footbridge by MDN Designs - but they'd sold out on Saturday, so I ordered a couple of kits on 20 Sept; they arrived today and I've been hacking them into something resembling the footbridge at Pelsall on the South Staffs line. I've managed to extend the deck, joined 2 lots of steps together and also joined 2 of the 'piers' together - it looks ok so far... the painted bit is just a test...
In the event I found I've only used the 'double arch' kit (the double kit is 2 'single arch' kits as far as I can tell). Single kit was £15, double £20.

What am I doing on my layout right now? Which one? I have 4 layouts(all N gauge) in various levels of progress. My Christmas tree layout has been put away until next season. I had got some scenery work done on it over December in to January. The main American layout seems to be gathering dust. I staged some photos for Dat's Virtual Traffic Exchange but that is as far as I got. My Japanese layout is under going a re-think in regards to the space available. Finally, my British layout has taken the spot formerly occupied by the Christmas layout, on top of a bookshelf in my living room. My most recent work was a Metcalfe Crofter's Cottage which is going to be a roadside inn. I just need to find some appropriate signs. I glued sandpaper down for the Inn parking lot but it still needs to be blended in to the scenery. I finished the crossing gates, put some grass down and some fencing for the sheep and glued a stonewall around the Inn. I finished painting the rails and most importantly, I purchased a track cleaning eraser from my local hobby shop to keep the rails shiny.

It's a lovely sunny winter Saturday morning. A quick trip to the dark side (my other train set) was in order.




I think I feel an Inglenook coming on. Will have to swap those 'ahem' couplers.

Oh dear!
