Interested in railways, railway modelling, model railroads, travel, rail travel, food, beer.
Used to model 1940s LMS themed OO gauge, now starting again with an O gauge shunting layout, set somewhere in 1970s Nordrhein-Westfalen.

A benefit of the current 'irregular' nature of trains at Huddersfield is that it allows time at The Head of Steam at the station. Despite what it says on the glass, my choice was an Obi Wan Cannoli Stout. A little too sweet for me, but I managed to force it down.

Bought this in Aldi yesterday for £8.99. Put a cushion on it and it is absolutely fantastic for moving around under my layout changing the wiring.

The white walls are definite improvement.

I have increased the depth of my 2nd baseboard to 900mm. This is the maximum that is comfortable to stretch across. I now have the concept of a plan for a totally new track layout.

The rewiring of my baseboards continues. I have decided to fit 'snubbers' to both ends of my DCC BUS. Some say that no DCC BUS should be without these, others that their effect is marginal at best, but they don't do any harm.

Refurbishment of my Modellbahnkeller is complete and I can now start to re-install my layout. First task yesterday was rewiring my baseboards.

Call me cynical, but this tastes suspiciously like Guinness to me? I can just imagine some number cruncher in Diageo asking why they need to brew two different stouts.

So my plan was to drink one can per day, but I am not working tomorrow so here we are! I really don’t know what demographic this beer is targeted at, not me for sure. Had this been £3+ I would have walked on by, but it is lovely. More a summer BBQ than late October though.

Considering the outrageous prices charged for ‘craft beer’ these days, imagine my delight in finding a local supplier that offers beer at ‘how many cases can I get in car’ prices. Latest offers 4 x 440cl for £5,12 x 33cl for £10. Leeds Pale is not fine dining, but thirst quenching delight!

At £4 per can in our local Coop, I was expecting something a bit special. It was special alright, but not in a good way. I genuinely cannot remember the last time I had a beer this bad! My only hope is perhaps this was a bad can and it is not supposed to taste like it did.

Some photos from today’s Wakefield Model Railway show. Great show with some lovely layouts and decent trade stands. Very little O scale stuff for sale, but no surprise there.

This evening’s beer is ‘Chalky’s Bite’ from Sharps. Never heard of this before but I shall certainly be having it again.

I decided a few months ago that really didn’t need any more wagons, so my latest arrived this morning. My excuse is that Brawa don’t make O Scale anymore and their models hardly ever appear on UK eBay. Doesn’t feel as ‘robust’ as a Lenz model, but lovely detail.

An East Midlands Railway train arriving at St Pancras last Saturday. After this we continued up the Regent's Canal/Grand Union Canal to the tourist insanity that is Camden Lock.

A South Eastern Railway trin leaving St Pancras last Saturday. The sky was looking very threatening, but it brightened up later and was warm enough for an al fresco beer.
