2022 Review.
Well, a year where quite a bit finally happened, back to shows, personal highs & lows, a change of jobs and some actual modelling! Dovedale made its debut at our MIOG show then a successful stint at the Doncaster GoG show. The next layout is already in progress but halted while we sort something else out.
26005 is still not quite finished (I will get this done and out and about in the new year), the 101 has finally made some progress (if I can get Cam to finish the black I can transfer it up and get it finished!). Another rake of YCV Turbots which have captivated a lot of people. New models made it onto across the WB included 33051, 37418 & 47114 for me and work done on 47303 for Cam, HRA, MAB & Dogfish wagons along with some 28 (I think) of Dapols HEAs..
2023 Hopes & Aspirations
Layout wise, Dovedale needs a little TLC, hopefully has a photoshoot in the new year and a couple of outings. We need to get a layout we’ve had in re-wired and re-worked to appear at MIOG in March and the new layout provisionally called ‘High Street’ will be making progress. As to stock, more HEAs to do and move on. A second HRA needs finishing for MIOG along with some parts for a couple of kit manufacturers followed by a number of other items currently in works, so watch this space!
Thanks to everyone who has popped in here and my layout threads, have a Great New Year and let’s see what 2023 will bring, I am looking forward to turning even more models out, a good weekend and MIOG and attending a few more shows.
