Just chat today! 2012 was a year which I had my number one and two wish come true.
My granddaughter, who some will know, drove the first train (and several subsequent one's) on the straightened out Teignford, this was made possible by the new loft ladder. Jazzy is epileptic and suffers from autism which is a much misunderstood condition. An event like this is so important to me and such an achievement for Jasmine- that's who the Inn is named after. Grandson Thomas will not be forgotten with road name-Thomas St. You don't need ideas when grandchildren are around, their simplistic logic brings one to earth.
Secondly, I have always wanted a layout of mine in Railway Modeller- not only that but Steve Flint asked me!The quality of the article, not to mention the photos by Jolyon Sergeant, gave immense satisfaction.
Heres what I hope to achieve next year.
The locos I have at present for starting/finishing which are really needed for current and future projects:-
Hymek- finish painting body- make chassis to attach motor bogie to.
Worsley Works 04 Diesel shunter- remake chassis and construct body.
Complete the Worsley M7.
Refit the bogie on the ex LSWR 02-wont go through points.
More Pannier Tanks from Rapid Prototype process.
Worsley Chassis for ex-Tri-ang Merchant Navy.
Rolling Stock:-
Complete Pullman Car 'Fingal'
Make a start on the Pull-Push set for the M7
A myriad of flat pack ex-GWR brass coach kits which I need for Teignford.
And last but by no means least to complete Teignford in time for its first outing, in it's straightened out form, to the Wessex 3mm Open meeting at Winterbourne Gunner in April. Oh- and repair accident damage to signal box-don't ask!
Oh and refix detached window sill on Hennock's Signal Box!
Think thats all- but I doubt if it is!
