fighting procrastination fifteen minutes at a time
Ok so next up box of mainly UK N scale and some US N and some odd and sods of 009, some kits I completely forgot I had and bunch of Lenz decoders. The real surprises were the 2mmFS Peco converted wagons, some Z scale track gauges I made on a makeshift power drill lathe many years ago, Dapol Class 86 and the Dapol Grand Central HST pack with couple of coaches.. all new to me. Some of this will go as I will never model ECML and the 009 will probably go too.
Ok onwards and upwards as they say.
Just a quick post and I took the decision to see what I actually have inventory wise. I kinda feel this pic is a bit like the images of fighter jets with there full payload laid out in front of them and something I use to take great interest when I was in my teens but now I am going to take each box and lay out and inventory everything that I have. I am then going to sell all the stuff I am not going to use and hope to get enough to fund a new lathe, or airbrush or maybe if I am really lucky both.
I think it may give me the opportunity to sort all of it out as at the moment I have no idea what is where and I keep thinking ‘oh where’s so and so’ and not finding it/them and then going out and buying another. So there are many duplicates and although this is a good thing at the moment I really want to stop slapdash purchasing. Case in point (pun intended) I was hoping to start my 2mmfs wagon kit, but like hell can I find the broaches I brought for similar process. So before I hit the buy online button I am going to make sure I can’t find them first.
As you will see there is quite an eclectic selection of 00 – early BR loco and wagons; N – BR Blue and mixture of everything between that and big four; N – US all North Eastern; Z – Swiss (my fav box set), and US – CP; NG in the form of HOm and 009 and lots of other bits such as point motors and my SPROG. Anyway enough for tonight.
