Good Morning! Well, look who´s here! The prodigal son is back! Not really, just a short stopover. I am still battling a number of health issues and others, which keep me from being back into a normal life. Until they are resolved, I have to run in a "protected" mode one could say, if I were a Windows computer. I just received my October copy of MR and, hey, there is a great article in about a familiar looking octagonal structure, excellently written by a guy with a name which is also familiar to me. Congratulations, Ray! Other than running the occasional train over my layout, I did a few jobs on it, the most noticeable being the painting of the backdrop. Although the job was done in a rather crude fashion, it did transform the look of the layout to the better. Just a couple of pics to show off a litttle [;)] <img src="https://i.imgur.com/RCMoyaC.jpg" alt=" " /> <img src="https://i.imgur.com/kVu9Mcx.jpg" alt=" " /> <img src="https://i.imgur.com/HPxrEkS.jpg" alt=" " /> I also reworked the platform at the train station. My Preiser folks now don´t need to wade through the ballast to reach the train. Proper safety markings have also been made, using self-adhesive 1mm tape. <img src="https://i.imgur.com/m1GggBQ.jpg" alt=" " /> I have to say that this job was challenging - my right hand is already too shaky to get those lines fairly straight over a longer strtch. My attempt to do the road marking failed. That´s all from this end. It´s fairly cold outside - and also inside, as our heater is not working properly. Our landlord needs to have a nerw heater installed, but I am afraid we will have to live with the cold for a while. Back into hibernating or "protected" mode! Blessings to all of you!
