Otherwise on weekend there's a growing few things to do . I do have a ten speed Malvern Star mountain bike . Maybe I ought to get it out do a bit of tyre pumping and oiling and use that a bit . Today , tomorrow and Friday I have RDO's to use up by request from our boss .Bit of a crisp ,nippy morning in the valley so will have some time to use up . Til then my model railway needs some attention . New controller to get set up and a bridge to work more on ..

Got to build a second one of these Walthers truss bridges for the other side of the layout .Took me ages to find one that suited ....

Keeps me occupied on cold days ...The top picture was the original layout before I made some large alterations a year or so ago but it ran beautifully thanks to the help of a fellow modeler who gave me a hand with a few things , as I did with his . Needed to make changes to allow more scope to go digital now .. Glad I did . This virus stuff gives me a bit more time I guess to run new B.U.S. wires for switch motor for turnouts and points ..

That's awesome. I have never been intro trains, especially since I work with them, but I have always wanted to build a model railway like this. Probably has to do with my interest in town planning and design.
