Sunday Snaps

Just some snaps from the railway this week.  No time for any progress.  But it's always relaxing to escape to my miniature dream world,  if only for an hour or two.  The GWR syphon is a favorite,  such a neat looking design.

 

Moving the Goods

 No progress to report, a depressing week for many reasons.  It was quite a tonic to just sit, shunt some wagons, and watch the trains pass by, while sipping a drink & some jazz on the Hi-Fi.  It is good to have a hobby to retreat into at times.  The magical world of an O scale model railway is what works for me.  What works for you ?   

A GWR 45xx brings in the goods to Windrush Junction,  while Manning Wardle Niki departs Boxer Bay with the branch goods.  Both lovely models by Dapol & Minerva.

1934 Airline Saloon

A little diversion took me into building a classic Motorkits 1934 SS1 Airline Saloon white metal car kit.  The inspiration for this little deviation was a happy memory of seeing a similar car at our local vintage sports car shop.  I should point out that seeing such cars on the Oregon coast is quite rare to say the least !  The model built up nicely with little trouble, always nice to see Made in England.  I feel the paint finish came out okay for a model railway, it's a little more glossy then the photos let on.  Now back to trains !
