Hi Guys,

Well, as the description says, it's not really on MY workbench but thought you might like to see the way I am having my Railway Room fitted out in my new apartment in China.

Lots of storage space underneath and easy access to the underside of the open grid boards.

Going over to China in September to make a start on the actual board construction though I think SWMBO is intending to prioritise other things (like furniture, curtains etc.) so some negotiation/bribery might have to be considered.

Will keep you posted on progress but it's going to be a long slow process.

Cheers for now,

Expat.

P.S.
Just realised that this my 300th post and has earned me a promotion. A momentous occassion all round then.

I find that the following is usually effective ;
Shoes.
Handbags.
Beanies.
& a new one - Betty Boop !

Good progress - keep us posted & congrats on your promotion.

Hi Expat
Now that is what I would call a very professional looking setup . lots of storage space too!
I'm sure if I had something like that I would not be relegated to the garden shed
Regards Zmil

Hi Brian,

Don't mention handbags to me. We went to Italy last June and she came back with eight.

As for shoes, we already have a collection to rival Imelda Marcos.

I suspect jewellry is going to needed for this one.

All part of the 'hidden' cost of modelling !!

It looks excellent Trevor - I can see this layout will be something special and I'll enjoy its gestation!

Tell me - does it hurt very much when you pass a fireman

Small diamonds and rubies make excellent loco marker lamps....

So do small white saphires and garnets. Both of which are 10 a penny. I have a contact in Sri Lanka if you need any.

Being Chinese, I think she's thinking more along the lines of jade though which, for a good piece, can be expensive.

Cheers,

Trevor.
