A lot of subjects are covered in the work. Today we have decided to keep DC on the inside and DCC on the outside with the inside of the dioramas being Great Western Railway Steam only, with a possible railcar. Diorama 1 will be Industrial, Diorama 2 will remain Farm and Country, Diorama 3 ?, Diorama 4 will be a new harbour while Diorama 5 is also unknown, The beams allow the trains to go from one diorama to another. Samson, at nine years is much more clued up and the afternoon session saw us watching Jeremy Clarkson's Isambard Kingdom Brunel on U Tube, (as well as baking three sponges). hey ho.
After a long break while Grandad John learnt the making of Plank on frame Model fishing boats, the Model Railway engines etc will need some TLC!
Never a dull moment in Paradise. Buy some thin ply boards for covering the old layout surface on Saturday!
All fun! :doublethumb

Well this post took two years to make and thanks to Corvid 19, lockdown in UK, three grandsons home from School and College, I have released Josh now aged 17yrs and Samson now aged 11yrs on to New Dawn project to do their thing with it. Our third grandson, Jacob, now 14yrs will work the computer side! The old man here spent his afternoon sorting three engines on the resurrected rolling road. Was all this very unexpected, YES and it's lovely to be back. Thankfully the three grandsons have more skills than the old man who thanks to Josh discovered this website so many years ago, then for some years got distracted with model boat making, plank on frame.
Now ……………….…………… let's watch and see ………………………. as Grandad and his three grandsons work together ………………..
