Its way more easier to go off, than stop and think about the situation and deal with the hand your dealt.

This afternoon found my old N-scale Ibertren diesel loco,Its what is called a world series loco, when I bought it back in 1993 in was painted in NSWGR Candy colour of a NSWGR 44 Class diesel loco, I do not like the Candy colour and repainted in the first colours of Indian Red and Chrome yellow. I have run it before but not for very long, So this time oiled the gears and gave it a run it was very slow at first but it soon started to run quicker yes! Its got a little wobble as she goes around the track, Surprise it still runs as its so old and you can not buy parts for them, You can buy a new 44 Class diesel which I will when I can save up some pennys.

Well I got a shock today went to Casey's to lay-by a Dragon Tiger kit, went to use my debit card only to find it would not work after trying three times I said to the young lady I go down to my Bank and find out why. tryed to get money there and was told my card has been blocked :shock: Looks like someone in Norway has tryed to use my card number. :shock: So now waiting for new card to be sent to me.
I got some money out and put it on Tank kit. yes!
The other day I got a email saying I did not have enough money on my Paypal account it said stopping me buying Warhammer stuff, which I never did. As I don't use my Paypal account I just closed it. Only used it when I was buying cheap kits from Steve in the USA.

Weathers been stupid again and we have had a week of 39-42 degree days. After knocking off my last night shift I was in the shed at 6:10am and paint these wheels just to mock this up before I box it away. Body’s ready for polish, wheels are titanium gold centres, need decals and wheel but details. I think it’ll turn are great when I get to it later this year.

Image

The paint on the wheels is still wet :lol: well it’s 31 degrees at 6am so they were probably dry by the time I fitted them to the chassis.

Image

I know it’s stupidly low in the rear but I like it so I’ll have to short the front struts to lower it and get the side skirt level to the ground/bench.

I think this is the 3rd one in TS-58. A few years ago I thought ratty/rusty builds would be my trademark but it looks like metallic’s are the way I’m going
