For the past few months it has been standard gauge taking the physical attention with only design work and 'tinkering' made on the 009 side of the desk. But a special delivery has arrived!
Narrow Planet offer a fantastic custom etching service for the name, number or works plate of your choice. To begin with I ordered a selection of GWR numbers, the name and no. for the WVLR Diesel (picture in the next edition) and the Andrew Barclay above. "Peggy Murdoch" is awaiting detail components but for the time being happily runs up an down my desk. Ignoring the blu-tac still in place on some unstuck components, I'm very happy with this model.
Finally, following an awful lot of fine brush work, I am on my last Bachmann Mark 1 interior! This is due to be done the week before moving house and I'll get on to building a small baseboard for a side project (I need to test out my woodwork on something less important) based around the Andrew Barclay and NCB wagons in the picture.
