I am not a fan of the sun, well not 30c sun anyway and being off work this week means I have had time to do some work on the model railway.

If you followed my YouTube channel yesterday all I can say is thank you, I am now 20 away from 1,000 subs.
This is a huge achievement for me, someone a few years ago terrified of posting on YouTube now almost has 1,000 subscribers.

I am well on my way to my goal of 1,000 subscribers by Christmas - if you don’t subscribe to my YouTube channel I would really appreciate it if you did 😊

Flying Scotsman will be double heading with a class 20 on the Friday service on the SVR by the looks of it due to the continued fire risk.

Bit more work on the model railway this weekend.

Painting mud areas and grey areas, laying grass, planting trees and touching up roads where glue didn’t take first time.

It’s muddy out there.

Painted the muddy areas tonight ready for some grass application. The area by the factory that appears to be missed needs the road widening 😉
