Having been sidelined by other projects lately it has been good to finally update the site with my latest O-9 creations! http://shiftingsands.fotopic.net/ Colin

Ticket Collector Posts: 88 Group: Member Member #141 Joined: May 27, 2007	Hi Colin, Thanks for sharing with the update - haven't been on Fotopic for a week, so could easily have missed this one! Great stuff there, both the diesel "story" and the upgrades to the passenger stock. You really do need that 35ft extension to the SMR to run all this stock on! I've just caught the "quiet" update you have done to the Gn15 gallery on your older Fotopic modelling site as well - also good stuff! Keep up the good work B) Mick

Not at the moment I'm afraid, the layout hasn't been out it's storage box for several months Most of my modelling work has been concentrated elsewhere recently, on a small 'OO' project and the 1/24th scale Lister. However, there has been some activity on the O9 front recently, all will be revealled soon.... No doubt after the 7mm scale narrow gauge do at Burton on Saturday and inspired by last weekend at Cleethorpes the layout will see the light of day soon! Colin
