After a weekend when it was too hot to operate the layout because of standing in the direct sun we now have completely the opposite with wind, rain and cold temperatures.
The good thing about this time of year is the Warley Model Railway Exhibition at the N.E.C. in Birmingham which means saving to make sure I have plenty of spending money plus I get Christmas money from family which gets added to the pot then whatever I buy gets wrapped up for Christmas. Its a bit of a strange way of doing it but it does ensure I get what I want.
This year I hope to get a few more Silver Fox kits probably of Lion and DP2 and also either the Brown-Boveri Gas Turbine or one of the Electric Loco's from their range.
As far as the kits I already have are concerned Kestrel will soon be getting the Brown lower body colour which will then let me detail the body before applying transfers to the body and glazing it. Hopefully we will get some reasonable weather so that I can get to run it. The Prototype Deltic is ready for its transfers as well. Pictures will be added to the projects page for each loco.
This means that the Baby Deltic will soon enter the erecting shop and will hopefully be followed by the Co-Bo before Christmas, we will wait and see.
