Now the festivities are over it's time to start thinking about what will be the next project on the workbench.
Himself spent the days following New Year re-organising all our stockboxes, much like the way a music fan sorts out their album collection, with our various models sorted into a more coherent system - with a box for FR locos, vintage carriages, freight stock etc.
He also knocked up a new wooden case for the current FR corridor stock and left a space for the new superbarn 'Bob' - 808 to give it it's proper name - which is under construction at Boston Lodge this winter.

As ever, getting ahead of the boys and girls in Glan y Mor is a dangerous game.
Even a 'standard' design like the superbarns can catch you out with differences between the carriages, particularly on the underframe and the small windows at the top.
From what I can see, however, it looks pretty safe to fetch out the resin and run off a set of castings for the body sides from my moulds, although I shall be paying careful attention to images which emerge over the coming weeks to check I'm not making a big mistake.
