What happened at your workbench today?

[casey jones snr]

Another half an hour spent on cleaning and preparing the Ruby for a run on the rolling road:-

Happiness is a successful steam up.

Working on the RhB "Giraffe" for an infrastructure train.
Started as a 8 part resin printed kit that I picked up in August... just now getting around to clean up and paint.

Still need to detail out some bits - which means masking - which I am not a fan of...
Will also need a proper wash of "weathering" when all is said and done.







Test fit to find the motivation to press on!

I have been painting more “Short Staff“ figures from Roundhouse Engineering:-

These figures are intended to populate part of the proposed CFR extension.

More of a case of what has happened to my workbench

Workbench fully in place, 0 Gauge railway out, and 0 Gauge stock ready for rework, so all set for my retirement after just 53 years of work

Shunting puzzle or part of a more extensive empire?

Irritatingly clean and tidy!

Managed to fit a Piko RC Rx in the roof of this IP Engineering Diesel that is getting remote control. Only worked handrolically till now. Thin plasticard holds it in place and the wires will all be disguised to sit below the body. As ever bit of a shoe horn job but at least it works on the test set up. I had been concerned that the metal body would screw up the radio signal, but all appears to be well without drilling a hole in the roof to poke the aerial out. Originally run on 6AA but will be getting 8NiMh which should make life easier rather than having to unscrew 4 screws every time the batts ran out. The Rx is near invisble and held in place by the roof screws. Not very pretty but not my loco and owner happy with it.

Metal bodies are not such a problem nowadays - just prevent the aerial from touching the body.

My Yeti is a nickel silver bodied kit, and the aerial is inside the glazed cab OK - as is the infra-red for the MLS sound card

Started this 12 years ago, but became disenchanted with the Gauge 0 Guild, and was mothballed so I currently can't remember where I was going with it.

Irritatingly clean and tidy!

A place for everything, and everything in its place, and I have only just finished sorting it out

 

[Rhinochugger]

so I currently can't remember where I was going with it.

To the poor house, if it's O Gauge

Yes the RX is wrapped in shrink wrap but not shrink’ed so aerial not touching metal. Spect it I had drilled a hole for it it would have been, bad news.

Another five Short Staff figures have been repainted ready to go back outside:-

I have also started cutting up parts of the Bachmann Toby tram.

A little bit more work has taken place with the Toby tram:-

I never seem to make much progress on the indoor projects of my railway. while Denice sits in her chair and currently does cross stitch. I have a good work area where my ham radio gear is. Dee came up with the idea of some kind of desk/table so i can work in my Lazy Boy. While at Cass I went on an internet hunt. Finally on page 7 on"A" I found the one pictured below. It came friday and it's the cats meow. No more excuses work WILL be done next to my Girl.

Thanks, I was able to find it by entering the items description. I didn't order the same one, but a slightly smaller desk from another manufacturer. My space is very limited while we are between houses and living in a single wide manufactured home. I like the idea of being able to sit with my wife and each of us work on our projects.

I managed to cause a small conflagration whilst trying to rewire a small battery powered Friog locomotive. Luckily I was able to extinguish the fire quickly, phew ‍. Lesson learned.

Oh what kind of battery involved?

Almost became a small, battery powered Fried locomotive then.
