It doesn't seem like it but a year ago I was at the Rocks By Rail members day with Mrs. Woody (Click here to read about that) but that is where we were again this year! It was like last year just colder, in fact almost freezer like and the steam engine had apparently broken with something having fell off the boiler (I was no where near it so you cannot blame me!) so the brake van rides were diesel powered. Great to see friends again and a chat over cake and mince pies went down well before a ride in the fridge brake van down to the end of the line and back.
The problem of being on the open verandah of a brake van being pushed back into the wind is that the fridge like conditions on the way down suddenly get turned down several notches to deep freeze! I don't think Mrs. W was that impressed but I enjoyed it.
There can be no doubt that there are plenty of projects to be going at for volunteers over the next few years!
Back in the land of model making some small progress with the Italeri Kangaroo APC with the joint between lower and upper hulls now glued, filled and smoothed as well as the side climbing handles and rear lights being fitted. Just about ready for some paint.
Hopefully when I apply the paint it won't be in freezer like conditions!
