Officially finished!

Officially its al finished now. I look forward to the day I can say that about one of my layouts but that is probably years away! However and before going onto other things, I talked about Class 25 locomotives the other day and I did have a few minutes today running another one on my terminus layout. This time it is the Bachmann Class 25 in British Rail blue, No. 25286. Much like its two tone green counterpart the details are in my view still great for a 15 year old model. Running wise it is brilliant with smooth running even at a crawl. If you do get one of these older models try to avoid the very first release where the cab handrails are made of plastic. The handrails on those models are rarely straight and although a small item it is amazing how bad it makes the model look.

Back to the real World now after that model diversion and the conservatory rebuild is now officially finished with the final electrics being done and everything working. There are now operating lights so Mrs. Woody can examine, no matter what the time of day, in detail the painting that I have now also finished in there and no doubt draw up a list of areas requiring my further attention! I can almost see the list now with the last comment being 'Must try harder!'.

Conservatory rebuild,

I am somewhat shattered at the moment after the past few weeks of activity so tomorrow I may well just have a go at cleaning up the cat sofa (which is not exactly an easy task but desperately needs doing) so that it looks more at home in its new surrounds and then see if I can find some time in man cave for a restful bit of model making activities.

Conservatory rebuild,
