Lunchtime in Germany! Chloe, I´ll have a Barry-sized burger, fries and a root beer to wah it down, please! Yesterday was not a good day for me. I started to transfer the drawing of my first building. Although I measured it not only twice, it did not come out correctly. Right angles were not right angles - you know that sort. In the attempt to cut the plywood, I got a nasty cut into my hand, which made me finally stop the venue. Petra complained about me dripping blood all over in the bathroom, making me feel even more miserable. Lesson learned - things are not as easy as the looked in that little video I posted earlier. Second lesson learned - even O scale seems to be too small for my big fingers and narrow mind - [sigh] Makes me feel like a [D)] Adding to yesterday´s misery, I developed a bad toothache during the night, and no pain killers in the house! This morning I fired up my old ´puter to draw a new plan - same theme, though, but this time in G scale(!). It´s twice the size of O scale and should be big enough for my big and shaky hands! Here is what I came up with: <a href="http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv185/SirMadig/SWOKSpurG_zpsac64df2a.jpg"><img src="http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv185/SirMadig/SWOKSpurG_zpsac64df2a.jpg" alt=" " border="0" /></a> May look familiar to you. The size of the layout is only a little larger than the O scale one, so I should manage to acquire the necessary real estate for it from Petra. The loco is available in kit form - this time a plastic kit, no need to solder [swg] Here is a pic of a finished model: <a href="http://www.regner-dampftechnik.de/feldbahn/images/images_alle_modelle_feldb/grosse_diesellok_72070.jpg"><img src="http://www.regner-dampftechnik.de/feldbahn/images/images_alle_modelle_feldb/grosse_diesellok_72070.jpg" alt=" " border="0" /></a> Well, that´s it for the moment - CUL & have a good one!
