On Monday I was looking at the kitchen table which I had taken over with a couple of my models sitting on it. One model is a scratch build Road over Rail bridge. I decided to enter it into the structure category in the upcoming NMRA Convention modelling competition. So I created a word document, with some text in it, that will be installed on the bridge. Last painted dates, bent numbers and distance from Sydney Central, etc.. These will be added to the model in the near future.
I found it hard to get motivated into completing the underfloor brake detail on my Australian National AKFX rail carrying wagon. However, after attending a funeral of a model railway personality on Wednesday morning, in the afternoon I was must have been channelling Eddie, as I installed the air pipes, air cylinders and the various brake actuators on this wagon. I then gave them a paint. So I think that wagon is now completed. I still need to add the floor to the QR HO wagon. I better do that this coming week. The last thing I need to do, is add screws to my railmotor up through the floor to retain the roof. I can them add the relevant wagon numbers and that will also be complete.
Wednesday job was to print out the various forms for my model entries. I was able to arrange printing of some handouts for my presentations at the Convention on Friday before a work happy hour.
The weekend was a write-off as I was attending a wedding. Just a few tidy up tasks to go.
