The simple answer is ... not a lot recently.
The reasons are simple to explain, namely a two-week cruise from 22nd June until 6th July (and all the subsequent post-cruise sorting out), followed by an important Masonic meeting on 9th July in St Albans, and COW2025 from 11th to 13th July. As a result, I don't seem to have had much time to do anything to the layout.
I did get the layout onto my work table on earlier this week ... only to discover that during our cruise our cat had 'investigated' it, and whilst doing so, it had damaged to painted surface. I have now repaired the damage and hope to begin work on the layout in the near future.
I still intend to add my border fortress to the layout, but not until I have repainted it a lighter colour. When I came back from our cruise, I realised that it was far too dark and looked very gloomy.
BOB- It'll be good to see your progress on the OO9 layout. Cheers. KEV.

DeleteI actually managed to spend some time working on my layout this morning … and plan to do some more later today.
All the best,
Bob

Jim Duncan,
DeleteI get a mention about 2.30 minutes into the video as the Bob who suggested that John Roger follow the course of this 'lost' river!
He has done several videos about the Shooters Hill area, and particularly the psychogeography associated with it. Ian Sinclair (who was Sir Clive Sinclair's brother) did a walk around the various sites on the hill, most of which were related to Steve Moore's work, SOMNIUM: A FANTASTIC ROMANCE. (Moore was born and lived on Shooters Hill until his death in 2014.)
All the best,
Bob
Sometimes a pause in a project is good. You come back to it later with A fresh perspective and the end result is better as a result. Of course, sometimes I just get sidetracked....
ReplyDeleteMark Cordone,
DeleteYou are absolutely right ... on both counts!
All the best,
Bob
I hope we see some more of your train project Bob.
ReplyDeleteMaudlin Jack Tar,
DeleteI hope to do some work on the layout over the coming week … assuming that the weather doesn’t get too hot!
All the best,
Bob
