The building of Leeds Sovereign Street,  Crown Point Yard and Clarence Dock has been a seven year pleasure.

Things are wrong but I am learning new skills  and the errors will be rectified.    The track plan is as I like.  Train services are as I like.  All I want to do now is to run trains.

Forward Planning.

This year.   Apart  from correcting many errors  I am giving hints on pressies for next year.   Dawn's family were heavily involved in Consett Iron Company.   K R Models are in the process of making some C. O. I. Co  wagons.    They will be available by the end of 2021  (hopefully).  Yes they are 'out of area',  but  then everyone in the family is happy when I 'disappear' to the train room.  Laugh

Hi Kevin, Thanks for this. My MRR New Year Resolutions are:

1) Stop whinging and upsetting other Forum users.

2) Get my Layout up and running (Track & Electrics) to a level where I can start posting photos. This has to happen ASAP - since as soon as the weather picks-up, it's back to house DIY & Renovation - "and that's an order" - apparently.

3) Save any spare cash I have, to purchase PECO SL83 Track & Turnouts and use it to replace all my Shinohara (apart from some Curved T/O's and Diamonds)

Best regards to all for the New Year, Paul

No escuses ... just get it done! -Kevin

That in a nutshell is my resolution and I suspect that of others.  It is a variant of the same resolution I have been making for, oh, six decades or so.  Sigh

The image shows new year being celebrated in New Zealand, so the end of 2020 is finally with us. Bear got out of it early, but we will all be rid of this mess soon.

WELCOME 2021!

What are your resolutions for the electric trains next year?

Mine is predictable. I am going to work on this house everyday, as hard as I can, and get my train room done.

I know I have been planning this for a long time, but I am right here on it... it can really happen now. It is all up to me. No escuses, no waiting on contractors, no material delays, just get it done!

-Kevin

Living the dream.
