Friday Update: Four Nine Twenty-six…

How is it Friday already? The girls are back at school and college, early starts again for them and I like to be up to help… plus a bank holiday and a day out - yet somehow there is progress to share here so we’re almost back to normal - grab a nice drink and settle down, I’ll give us a short tour of projects this week…Massive progress to share (above) on the 009 layout commission - originally titled Dawson Creek, but has had a few title changes and I’m 100% what we’ve settled on! The lid is on and painted, the fiddle stick has been constructed (with a nod to Rice’s Trerice) and I’ve tinted the lighting a little cooler. There are jobs left, the muddy creek, a bit of vegetation around the base of the structures and a few bits of scrub and shrub to finish things off - should be done next week! I can’t wait to share a video with you all…The bench itself is all repaints! Left is the Jinty being repainted in North Western Railway lined blue - today it will receive its lining and detail…
