Bridge track and exhibitions
Well folks the bridge track finally arrived. After them getting the wrong stuff, they then got the right stuff. They said they could bring the right stuff to Malkara Exhibition, that sounded great. Anyway, in the end they posted it out at their cost (cause they forgot in all that must go on in getting a stall at an exhibition) and I have put together a barrel platform. Was the wait worth it? The track looks great and the extras add so much authenticity, the instructions imply that people who buy bridge track are too hardcore to need pictures, I have yet to set up a test of the guard rails etc, but I will be putting word and pictures up when I do. Will I be ordering through them again, sadly no. In future the Internet will be my friend. That doesn't mean overseas per se, but an automated order system seems to work better. Malkara was good with a new better camera, it makes a big difference to the shots one can take. Many similar exhibits as previous years, also got to see the model club in action and I feel that I am perhaps too young and not quite serious enough to meet the cut, pity. Anyway, this is just a quick post to say track has arrived so work will soon be resuming on those projects that went on hold. As a little aside, doing a small diorama of a work site with a pile of ballast, it was meant to be a cone and I will try to bring it back to a more regular shape but the water glue mix was too much water and not enough glue at first. Photos when it looks passable. Just gone from being late to being early so time to sign off.
