2016 Review : Making things

2016 was a big year for making models, though making Airfix (other brands are available) models took more of a back seat to the model railway. Having successfully converted from HOe to N gauge late in 2015 i gradually built up my stock in the new gauge. Then in the Summer i built a new board to replace the old one dating from 2113. The modified layout works really well though it will be replaced again next Summer.

Late in the Summer i also built a smaller board to build a new layout for my HOe gauge fleet. This has been a bit of a test bed for the main layout and indeed i have largely started again with the layout over the last few days but thats fine. The best way to improve and progress is through making mistakes and learning from them.

There have been 6 Airfix models too. I have built a number of buildings for the model railway too, but time is the main thing i am short of these days. It might be a good idea if i do slow down with the models anyway as i'm fast running out of shelf space to put them on.
