New inspiration + Jubilee wagon finished

 It's something I think all modellers go through from time to time,  a lack of motivation.   Mine was fueled by lack of time,  work and family "stuff" taking precedence.  Sometimes a break can be what the doctor ordered.  I stumbled upon a "new" book by Wild Swan that I had to purchase, postage / tariff situation be damned !  I promptly ordered a copy of "The Kent & East Sussex Railway" by Brian Hart.  It arrived in timely order and what a magnificent book it is.  My motivation to get right back to the workbench was boiling over.  Although the BBR is fictional (Highly fictional),  it's inspiration draws from the fascinating little Colonel Stephens lines such as the K&ESR.  I thoroughly recommend it to anyone interested in that era of steam railways.  A nice little time machine in hardbound.

The Jubilee wagon has had the tension lock couplings installed,  she's now ready for service on the railway.  A little more progress at the dock,  just awaiting the water,  and ships !  All for now.
