Things seem a bit quiet of late here on the blog. Everyone must be busy modelling!
For my own part, I've spent what little modelling time I've had available making track for my GJLC entry. Most of the plain track is now finished and I've started on the pointwork. These are being made using the exce ....

It will be a real struggle trying to keep up with all the other entries in the Golden Jubilee Layout Challenge - especially as it is now the time of year when my job takes up more and more of my time.Still, April has been a pretty good month overall.

Since moving house 2 years ago, the old Proxxon miller has been gathering dust... until this evening. Tonight's victim, the class 25 chassis.
