Since that post I've become more active with the NSW N Scale Group. Attended some meetings and helped out (ran trains) on the Group layout "Cockle Creek " at the Liverpool Exhibition over the long weekend. You might have seen the layout featured in a recent issue of AMRM.
It was fun to meet old friends and make new ones.
I also purchased an MHG guards van in black from Frate-N and a water tank and yard crane from Peter Boorman.
I'm way behind with layout and kit construction. I still have three building kits from the Epping Exhibition early in the year to complete!
It seems that my 'era' for modelling is getting earlier. At least for my NSW modelling anyway. I seem to be settling on the 60's and 70's which seems to fit in with other members of the N Scale Group. I'll probably get rid of my 'modern' rolling stock at some point in the future.
My big problem at the moment is that we may have to move house in the next few months. Not looking forward to moving my two layouts as well as all the other stuff I have accumulated over the years. The move is not certain but I need to be prepared.
Recently I took a day trip to Bomaderry (Nowra) on my $2.50 ticket. The photos are from that trip. I think this would make a very interesting terminal station and yard on a layout.
For the exhibition I put together a set of five WHX wheat hoppers including making my own decals. The kits were some old "Fettlers Hut" ones I have had stored away for a number of years.
That's it for this time.
See you soon and enjoy your modelling.
