Shunting the brewery

From last weekend, here's the BBR Peckett shunting the Brewery siding. A quiet lazy Sunday.

MM1 MR 1 Plank wagon completed (almost)

 A miserable wet winters day on the Oregon coast,  has at least allowed me time to complete the construction phase of the Midland 1 plank wagon.  Very happy with how it's turned out.  Couple little things could be better, but I'm not a nitpicker.  Now comes some tidying up, painting, lettering & weathering.

MM1 MR 1 Plank wagon progress

 Some more progress has been made on the MM1 Midland Railway single plank wagon kit.  I'm already getting excited about the possibilities for an interesting load.

Ready for the off !

The little Peckett is ready to begin shunting the brewery.  The driver will need to proceed with caution by the level crossing.  Shunting maneuvers will require several passes.  I'm sure the motorcoach operator is thrilled !

MM1 Midland Railway 1 Plank wagon

 A new year,  a new wagon project.  It's been quite a while since I've built any rolling stock for the railway,  and I've missed it.  For a Winter project I selected the MM1 models (former JLTRT range I believe) Midland Railway 20' 6" single plank resin / white metal wagon kit,  ref # PWW1.   This kit has been sitting on the shelf for years,  time has come to enjoy it.  I like the variety in goods wagons,  and this ones longer length will break up the string of standard wagon lengths nicely,  plus an opportunity for an interesting load,  perhaps a boiler or a ....... ?  Any ideas leave a comment.   Early days in the build.

Someone ring the Vet

Quick,  someone ring Dr. Thomas,  Josie is limping !   I've been very fortunate to work in the Veterinarian field for 20 + years,  and after viewing the most enjoyable James Herriot series, I figured it was time that Boxer Bay high street should have a Veterinarian Surgery.  The Doctors listed I feel very privileged and lucky to get to work for everyday.  It's a profession that really is like no other.  Life would be so dull without our four (or 3 !) legged friends,  at least for me.
