Spot on !!

I fully concur with these thoughts Neil.

Its a HOBBY.......... how much thought /effort goes into a project is up to the individual,and their own circumstances.

Do it, enjoy it and first & foremost please yourself, ... if other's enjoy seeing what you do all the better and gives you encouragement and motivation... if they don't, well... tough !

This IS a HOBBY.. that through necessity has to have compromises... be it, skills, ideas, materials,costs and space... Above All ENJOY what YOU DO...

It's Therapy in this mad, sometimes sad, bad world...

ENJOY Model Railways...!! .................

It certainly helps me. My day job is operating an electric chair!

Not really, it's actually putting down peoples pets!

Absolutely spot on for me too. This hobby is for enjoying and I really do have to train myself to refrain from inserting negative responses! It's not the 1st of January but I've got to give it a shot!

Sometimes it seems as if there is a race to be the first to point out a failing which I'd never have noticed in a month of Sundays.
Happy modelling everyone at whatever level appeals to you!

This really is getting very exciting, can we have a clue?! Or a cryptic clue? Or a leak?

Well it's finished but now comes the rub, I took said item (coded 01.7013) to photograph it on St. Laurent. The photo came out but now seems to have disappeared into the depths of the gallery of DBC50. I think we may have to try again.

Wherever the B picture is it came up today on the random gallery image!! Anyone got any ideas where it may have gone.
