I've lost a step-son but gained a train room!

Eldest step-son (21) has flown the nest, leaving me with a nice, useable room to turn into a combined Electra Office and train room!

A small layout is now possible but so is other kit like a 3D printer or other such goodies.

Got to get it cleaned out first...yuck! Are blankets meant to fold?

Lucky man! I bet you can't wait to get started on making it yours again.

He'll be back!

Get a lock, chain and burglar alarm on the door quickly

I'm intrigued by this 3D printer. What are you planning with that?

Just a pipe-dream at the moment - I need another day job pronto, so I can dip into the redundancy fund. If it comes to fruition, I'd like to offer complete EMU kits for the sort of units that can't be bashed from Farish coaches - e.g. modern stuff and pre-nat Southern units.

If you do, I'll have a model of Caroline off you then!

Blush!

Room now painted, will touch up with a second coat tomorrow and start moving everything across!

Chris · February 27, 2011, 10:13:51 AM

Don't waste too much time moving in - you've got coach vinyls to make!

Adam1701D · February 27, 2011, 03:23:00 PM

Already started. PC in and getting the train stuff up, including the layout!

I have promised my good lady that the conservatory will be returned to "female" use - cane furniture, pot plants, radio, etc, etc...

It sounds like some photo's might appear on the Layout thread.

It's a roundy-roundy that I picked up on eBay a few months back. Needs a complete re-jig, as some of the curves are unfeasibly tight.

I'll probably turn it from open country to urban grot at some point
