Me a happy little chappy I got a small N-scale layout up and running using a sheet of foam board as base 1200x600x50, going with just a oval with two short tracks running in the middle. Had to buy two new points yesterday at model train shop over at Kurri Kurri, Have known Ivan for a while now good bloke to deal with. Now I can run my three Santa Fe diesels, still got to get some buildings and other bits.
Bought two passenger cars to go behind the red Santa Fe but found out the the couplers are different which is a pain as they are Kato the same as the diesels going to put a small town on the layout and backing boards too.
Mate Tony dropped by this morning and said the N-scale layout looks like a toy one also asked was I going got to make it longer, So been ya it is a bit small so next week I will be picking up another bit of the foam board which will give me 2400x600.
On another note today I seen a black car go passed it had the funny wheels on them that are in at the top but out at the bottom like the models you are building here. Can not tell what the car was as it was doing 80 in a 50 tone.
Well yesterday we got a letter from Pacific Link Housing the ones we rent from they are like the Government housing.
We been here for close to nine years now and going along fine up untill two years ago they moved a woman into a unit across from us there is five units here.
The woman was going Ok up untill six months ago, before the woman move in here she was in a Mental hospital and she should never been hear by herself but in a group home, She end up back in Hospital again, A the time we were trying to get the ones who were looking after her that she is not coping by herself.
The biggest mistake was saying the the Pacific Link Housing that she needs to be in a place with others around her to help her with day today things.
Yesterday we get the letter from them from the last time they were here a few weeks ago checking the unit, All the time its been fine here but not this time.
I use a small back bedroom for building my models and art, well now I not aloud to have the paint and plastic in there as its now a fire hazzard and I have to turn the room back to a bedroom also got to clear the garage and park my car in there and not use the outside parking bays, no layout as thats were it is. Also can not have anything sitting on table or shelfs or cupboard as its unsightly.
We asked if we could put a aircon in the window and been waiting for power point but now its got to come back out.
All this happen because I said the woman was not coping and trying to get her help. Well from now I never going to try help anyone again. Will be packing up my models may get back to them in ten years time.
got pics?
going to put a small town on the layout and backing boards too.
ya it is a bit small so next week I will be picking up another bit of the foam board which will give me 2400x600.
