Warley Regrets?
None. No hour-long beer queues, no regular treks outside to smoke, not getting smacked in the face by a backpack...
Didn't go this year - a night out with the SAG on Friday night (Not a rather cruel nickname for any females, but the Southern Area Group of RMWeb!) - persuaded me that I could just as easily spend money online and get the same, if not better, deals.
So I did.
Today, yet more packs of Lupins - I'm stockpiling these for future use - At the moment I reckon I've got enough to last me until 2031. A couple of other bits are on backorder from Model Masters , but a bargain Class 27 - again numbered 27105, which should have been part of the fleet last Christmas but failed rather catastrophically - did come via the Liverpool 'shed' that is Hattons , and this could well be followed by a bargain Danish 26 as well, following Paul Marshall-Potter's excellent article in Railway Modeller a couple of months ago.
As for the loft layout, I'm still mulling over trackplans. One idea that I thought had 'legs' has been rejected as too complex, and I may well end up with something similar to the plan I came up with, ooh, six months ago? - Such is the life of the modeller.
Off to Norwich for the weekend - there probably won't be time for too much in the way of photography, but you never know - and there will be further updates, and hopefully progress, before Christmas.
This post is also a first for the Muchclag Blog - I've coded it in HTML. That'll please one reader in particular, I'm sure ;)
