Amongst all the 009 activity there is the seeds of a GWR micro layout in the background. It's one of those projects I'm taking much slower but still having a lot of fun with, occasionally building the odd wagon or structure to put in the stash. The idea is to essentially build up all the components first, then the baseboard later when room permits.
The latest foray into this theme saw me completing one of those jobs I've put off for too long, adding couplings to a set of Parkside (Ex Ratio) kits, namely an iron Mink, a 5 plank open and a ventilated box van. Armed with a set of Parkside NEM mounting pockets and some Bachmann cranked and uncranked NEM tension lock couplings a productive afternoon was had. The majoirty of them need cranked couplings, but with the Iron Mink being low slung it needs the alternate kind.
All still need weathering, and complete transfers, to be considered finished. Jobs for another day.
