Another quick update
I have been doing a fair bit of work in the workshop and the results will be featured on here soon. I am going to aim on doing an update once a week probably on a Monday from now on.

Quick update
New stock for the railway along with the finising (hopefully) of the many unfinished projects are underway although other non railway jobs have been getting in the way somewhat. I am aiming on getting as much as possible done to allow me to do a video of the line sometime in early April.

A new video added
The first train of 2017 now has its own video. Find it on the video page or Here. More will follow once the weather gets better again.

New Year, New Stock
Despite the cold causing the workshop to be mostly unusable I have managed to get some of the kits I received for Christmas built.
Hopefully Spring will come early and I can get back into the workshop to get them finished off.

Quick update
I thought I had better put something up to really just say that nothing has happened. There has been far too much other things going on to give me any time to work on model railway stuff. I do have the first week in January off and I know there are a few kits under the Christmas tree for me so that week will have plenty of railway models in it.
A photo session on the railway for Christmas is planned for tomorrow or Thursday so some pictures will follow.
