Hobbies / Books (Gardening, walking, books, films, theatre etc.)
Sadly not much progress to report Gareth,have been sidetracked recently playing with a couple of new toys. One is a new controller for the trains which like many things these days is wireless. This now allows me to wander around the room or sit at the modelling table and still be able to control the trains ( that is when I get the trackworck and wiring sorted out ! )
The other toy is a "Plotter Cutter" which looks like a printer but actually cuts out designs for you. Cutting out all the windows for Coops wasn't something I was looking forward to (If you'd seen me wielding a scalpel the plotter is a much safer prospect )
I just tried to upload a couple of pics to Photobucket but it appears to be sulking about something so I will try again later.
The plotter has successfully cut out the framework of the panelling that the platform buildings used to feature. See Item #: 23556 about 2/3 of the way down page 2 of Album "Wallgate Station"
Other sidetrack involved bringing in exterminators to treat the property for Termites / White Ants AAAAARRRRRRRGH. $2000 I really needed to spend( need an armed guard for the train room now !!! )
