Another hiatus at Weddin Jct

Since my last post in January, I've lost my Monday & Thursday evening modelling time, as I have been volunteered by SWMBO to play the bass drum with Ingleburn RSL Pipes & Drums - where she plays the tenor, and the kids pipe. As I told them all, the trade off has been that they have now lost their roadie - I refuse to carry a bass drum & bagpipes at the same time!
Anyway, here are the completed TRCs.


Also recently back from the Miranda car & waggon works is my original Berg's / Minimodels four-car single deck set. Roy has been busy with repairs to the interior details he put in for me twenty-odd years ago (bulkheads, H bars etc), as well as adding some brass MU sockets and target plates. I need to finish them off with scale-head Ka-dees, so that they look smaller compared with the non-EMU stock. I'll be sticking to the standard heads on everything else for now, too much to change things over, and I'm told the scale heads are more "track sensitive" in terms of vertical alignment & train separation issues.
Cheers for now.

    1. Cheers Tom. Got to get things organised again to regain some modeling time. A trip to Brisbane in June will get me a couple of free evenings, so I'll take something to work on.
