Chapter 29 - 13/06/2008
 

So the layout is starting to really take shape now and that's only just past the two year mark.

At present we are getting ready for the Toowoomba Show. Whilst this may not be the biggest or most profitable show on our list, it is by far the most enjoyable. Each year we have attended this show we find that the atmosphere gets better and better.
The boys from the Darling Downs Model Railway Club should be commended for their efforts. Now having said that, it is (I think anyway) reasonable to expect to see some of you turn up and say "g'day" at this year's Toowoomba Show.
In the mean time, I have been fairly busy keeping you all supplied with your models… So there has not been too many noticeable things done to the layout. We have a few more trees, I have a few more bruises from asking for more trees, you get the idea of how things work in the Wuiske Asylum.
The overhead bridge is still a safety hazard as it leads to nowhere. I have a nearly complete 2100 (2123F to be exact) being test run on the layout as we speak and the demo model for our DH kit is starting to get some colour added to it.
Apart from that, the cats are still bonkers, the dog is getting more crazy by the minute and Jade… um… I can't really say, because I fear death.
I have managed to get a few more wagons on the layout in the last month. Our latest additions are another QLX (four down, twenty to go), two WHO open wagons (I just wanted to play with the weathering powders)and two more VBO ballast hoppers (I love these things).
So in other words all is quiet on the western front, we have a few new kits in the works and everybody is asleep at the helm… well until Friday when we have to set up for the show anyway. If you can get along and say G'day then please do. If not, we expect a note of explanation.

We shall see how we go.
