So as the year comes to an end, everything gets busy, well, more busy. The current project with a before Christmas deadline is fitting theTOMAR INDUSTRIES Marker lights to the red bobber caboose intended to look like the Little Red Caboose of Little Golden Books fame as illustrated by Tibor Gergely. So far things have gone reasonably well including implanting a reed switch into the caboose roofwalk so that the power from the AAA battery can be turned on and off without having to pick up the caboose or flip some highly visible switch. Photos to come once all is closer to completion.
Meanwhile I need to get into my shed and garage and do a big clean out. Also more orderly storage. Also to finish the many projects that I seem to have things for: kits, materials, etc... In short, a little frustrated at the large amount of stuff that has built up and the small amount of spare motivated time one seems to have.
The Christmas layout has gone well again this year though with only incremental changes again this year. A suggestion of putting in a waterfall comes up against the wintery snow nature of the scene and whether or not to make it a waterfall of icicles into a frozen over lake or just go for a more temperate and traditional waterfall and lake scene. More research required here before one dives in, as it were.
