It’s one of those weeks when my modelling mojo is very low.  I have a string of projects that need finishing but none of them appeals.  Perhaps I need to break out another plastic kit, or try a diversion into Patagonian narrow gauge.  I suppose it’s common enough for one’s enthusiasm for a hobby to come and go.  I’m grateful to have several, so in an emergency I can retreat into a good book.

So today’s offerings mostly reflect my current mood.  My father obviously was a very wise man, and I’m looking on the bright side of life….

If this were the UK, it would be Liverpool.

Nigeria bought some ex-BR HST units.  I’m surprised no-one thought of this for the East Coast Main Line.  You could get so many more passengers in (plus chickens etc.)  It would make an interesting model?

And here’s the rather more restrained repaint!

Could be a model?

I think this will be my next project.  Plenty of scenery and absolutely no wiring.  In fact, I think it will be DCC with a chip in the tree.  Possibly with bird and squirrel noises.

Off to play Scrabble…
