Working On The Railway,

time to start on the turntable,
first mark and cut the hole through the first layer of polystyrene,
remove and then go down to the next layer,
make some motor and gearbox supports from scrap on the bottom of the turntable, and reinforce the supports with a right angle piece of scrap, remove polystyrene to the base board to make room for the gearbox,
meanwhile Diana is making a forest out of sea foam,
well a small forest,
I also "aged" or weathered the roundhouse,
then it was time for chicken feet soup,
the sun is setting,
the soup is being prepared,
then as Jay and Precil were going to call in it was to the bugs stall,
both Diana and Precil love eating bugs,
big and small,
these look like some sort of larvae,
and where would we be with out grasshoppers!
if you want to try some look out for this sign or similar, we then settled down to watch a few DVD's with Jay and Precil, we followed on from last night with another Ultimate Crimes, this time number 9, Driven To Kill, about people like Ted Bundy, John Armstrong, Henry Lee Lucas to name but a few, then off to the land of nod.

  1. I'm really enjoying your railroad photos. Keep it up.

    You should consider putting your railroad work under separate blog posts, instead of lumped in with the rest of your daily news, so that in the future, you can reference them all under one label. That's what I eventually did with my restaurant reviews in Jil In Pattaya.

  2. Dear Jil, more on the railways today, I have started to add the label 'trains' to any post that has them on it, admittedly you still get what else we did that day but at least all of the train bits will be together, the problem with separating is that some days that is all we blog so there would not be anything else on that day, but still lots of work to do on it!, best regards, Stan and Diana.
