Hi all,

Thank you all for your kind words, I am in to the second week and the pace has picked up with this bogie overhaul work which has got a lot more in depth than first expected but I guess that's the nature of the beast!

let's hope you don't get too grand to help us on the Revolution stand!!!

Unless I magically get pop star wages you are safe in the knowledge that I with be there!

I'm expecting a super detailed Freightliner depot diorama coming soon 

Well funny you should say that I already have the depot (my work) building, but I have to get my main layout built first and well currently that's slow progress!

I will admit one thing when it comes to modelling working in the industry has made me a bit of a rivet counter! I have been looking at some of my models going "that's wrong, and that and that!", just have to see if the family are really really nice this year and will pay for a model to visit Mercig so I can have a completely accurate representation of 90048 (The one I am currently giving some TLC).

Oh and if anyone is wondering how many does it take to overhaul bogies the answer is 2! One ex Crewe works fitter, and some lunatic with tools and diminishing patience as he is outwitted by tab washers!

After tab washers comes lock wiring.....
Good luck with it all.
