Some little projects

Hi All
Not much modelling happening lately with a real lack of enthusiasm and
a little stay in hospital but i managed to almost finish a few little projects
The first is a IDR BPV 20400 a nice easy little kit but with one
problem the code board is way to long for the decal and i didn't notice
until it was to late.

The second is a IDR B open wagon and this was the easiest kit ever
with a ready 2 run austrains four wheel chassis most of the work is
done although i did stuff up the the door stop i should have taken more
care making these just need to weather them up and then there done

Till next time

The view from Sandgate station changed forever

It was once my favourite station to do railway photography with a good long view
both north and south to see the approaching trains and with six lines there was always
something about don't get me wrong I'm sure the bypass is warranted but its just a shame
that's all.
Maybe I'm just getting old
