When travelling, it is very important you only pack the essentials.
As you can see, I brought just the bare necessities.

Today I went and assembled the teeny Multicar M22 models in N scale I bought earlier this week. I'm glad I had two different pincers, working just with my giant fingers would have been a nightmare.

Finally back at the work bench. Finished up adding decals to this Delaware Valley Airslide. Also added an etched metal walkway from Plano Model Products.

Weathering some of my models, I hope to soon be able to get some matte clear and masking tape to hold the weathering powder down.

New toy! Tatra T4 from Tomytec, the set with two of them and one motor chassis. They're in the colours of Prague, because the alternative (Leipzig) looked very boring. DCC pre-installed by the dealer (I know how to install DCC in Tomytec trains, and have vowed to never do it again unless I have to).
I'm really happy, the train runs really well and quietly. Power pickup is good, pulling power is decent. Only one bogie is powered, but it's fitted with two traction tires, a design made necessary because the chassis can be changed into different lengths easily. No lighting, which is not something I'm bothered about, but if you are, it's probably possible to retrofit it at least to the powered car with a medium amount of hassle.

Santa Fe RSD-15 #7550 having some fun with a good sized local freight train. Need to get it a Santa Fe caboose with good couples cause it’s kinda weird that I don’t have one for it. Also I just wanted to point out that yes, these videos I’ve been posting are all on a club owned layout which is why it looks so much better than the video I posted with Philip. Hope you’ve been enjoying the spam!

Ihmeellisen pienen maailman päivä 1 oli meidän osastolla niin kiireinen, että en ehtinyt juuri kasoa näyttelyä muualta, saatika ottaa mitään kelvollisia kuva. Sen sijaan omasta radastani sain kuvia kulmista mistä sitä ei yleensä näe, joten joudutte näkemään lisää sitä.

Unwittingly celebrated World Heritage Day last Saturday with a trip to the Swansea Model Rail Exhibition, from which I've been sorting & editing footage and uploading with the ultimate view of creating a YouTube compilation, so time now to feature the first model railway to have all footage taken now uploaded.
Box Station is an N scale model railway built by the Swansea Railway Modellers' Group, the original subject matter being a station on the Great Western Mainline between Bath and Chippenham. The nameplate of the signal box is now preserved at the National Rail Museum. Some of these videos I have slowed down from the original running speed as seen on the model last weekend so as to give a more realistic appearance.
It was also here that the Rev. W Awdry, author of the Thomas the Tank Engine books came to watch the trains passing through, as he lived nearby, and he himself relates how the stories were inspired by hearing the freight trains passing by night, banked by tank engines who would push from behind on trains too heavy to be hauled up the gradient by the main locomotive detailed for the run, and imagining the different puffing patterns of the different sized locomotives as being them talking to each other.

Day 27-Boulder:Little Problems
Day 27-Boulder
Other Stories
Little Problems
Eustace sighed, pinching her nose. She was ready for this day to end. James had been sprayed with mud, Henry's valve gear had jammed, and the sound of construction work had given Murdoch a migraine so bad the poor engine had been reduced to tears.
At least the day was almost over. A sharp frightened whistle put an end to that happy thought, followed by a barely audible clink. Any hope of the situation resolving itself were dashed when Tyto's whistle sounded in reply, calling for help. The station master sighed and walked into the next room. The large 47xx starred in through the window worriedly.
"Please hurry Ms. Eustace. She's hit a boulder!
Eustace glanced over to the problem. A large n-scale layout took up the majority of the space, facing towards the window so the engines in the station siding could look in. On the mainline of the layout a small pacific lay on her side, a pebble on the track the obvious cause. The normally sweet little engine was deeply upset, letting off steam and swearing at the 'boulder'.
Eustace walked over the scene of the accident, and gently lifted the small engine back onto the track. The miniature C62 wheeshed sadly.
"I'm sorry Miss Eustace. By the time I came around the corner It was too late to stop. She sighed, "and we were going so well too."
Eustace gently patted her, "Not your fault Yōsei, someone must have put it on the track. Are you alright?"
Yōsei rolled back and forth experimentally. "I'm fine, just embarrassed." The pacific glared at the 'boulder' with venom.
"The line was clear a few moments ago."
Eustace picked up the pebble and tossed it to Tyto, who destroyed it between her teeth with a great crunch.
"I told you those boys were up to no good," Tyto growled as she chewed, referring to a particularly rowdy set of children that had been through the exhibit earlier.
"We don't know for certain that it was them," Eustace privately thought the engine was probably right, but knew better than to let the engine know that.
All of the engines disliked that tourists had access to Yōsei's layout. Initially she had thought they were being over protective, but this wasn't the first time someone had messed with the layout. Each time the engine's frustration with the situation grew, and she wouldn't put it past them to extract retribution sooner rather than later
Yōsei backed down on her train again, and slowly set off.
Eustace glanced over to the 47xx, who had a calculating look on her face. "Tyto."
"Yes Ms. Eustace?"
"Whatever you're planning...wait till I'm off the clock."
The massive 2-8-0 grinned in anticipation, "Okay."
Eustace took one look at Tyto's grin and decided it was the next shift's problem. Instead she settled down and watched as the miniature live steam engine raced down the line with her express.

N SCALE UPDATE!
Started working on the landscapes on my T Trak modules
General plan is for scenery to line up when they’re side by side for public display, and back to back when set up at home
