Hello Jeff,
No, I've been very busy at work recently. I'm changing jobs at Christmas
and my current employer wants his pound of flesh. As I was going to a rival
company I was hoping for some gardening leave, but no chance there.
In the last few weeks I have bought
- 2 puppies Hetty and Toby - who can see the railway connection! (no ME
content, but great fun - see www.whissgig.co.uk)
- a 7.25" part built Hudswell Clarke mining locomotive (powered by a Stuart
Turner P5 two stroke 5HP petrol engine)
- an Austin A40 Farina (collecting in a weeks time)
- a second P5 (to use as spares) but it is mounted as per a "exhibition"
engine, so I can't bear to use it as spares, so I am trying to get it
running.
At the same time -
We have just sold our Land Rover Discovery (not enough room for dogs) and
bought a Land Rover Defender 110 County Station Wagon (lots of room for
dogs). So I need to get the 110 up to scratch! (Roof rack, spot lights,
diesel heater, vegetable oil conversion etc. etc.)
I need to make up two sets of points for the Lackham Museum and Woodland
Railway to install a reverse crossover at the approach end of the station to
give me two platform working.
I am dismantling a 32' x 12' chicken shed that will become my carriage shed
at Lackham. The students are building the foundations and doing the
blockwork, I need to dismantle and move. There are three bays of roof
joints, each side has 3 sets of 3 (very) rusty coach bolts, that's 54 rusty
bolts to remove - the only way is by cutting!
Oh and I occasionally eat and sleep as well !!
Cheers
Peter

Any List activity lately?
I've had hundreds or emails from people at my ISP, Sympatico, with viruses
in attachments, so I'm wondering if the world has cut off Sympatico users
like myself.
Hope everyone's just busy in the workshop.
