Indoor layout can stay

Hi,

Well I got retrospective planning permission from the DPA. The indoor layout is here till the spring :) It nice to look at the outdoor layout through the rain soaked window !! I've found a way to add some weeds and took a video, which having just viewed is pretty borring but gives more angles than a single picture.

Steve, You have been busy! Glad you are feeling better.

I haven't had much time to do anything train related as it is concert season and I do sound...... I have gotten the fascia painted and installed in the new room:

Well, never mind the last post, I didn't like the way the fading work is going, the roof line turned out ok, but the sides are difficult so I'll be repainting the WHOLE unit. I'll start with the light patches, mask, then do the dark patches.
 
I have no pics but I know you guys have seen them (check the 1/87 forum)
I purchased more Norscot CATs today at Wally World they dropped their prices to from 5.95 to 4.94...nice I bought 5 new equip all different. Hoping to get dump truck and some of those soil compactors, forrest machines and scraper. I will keep looking!
