More often than not, the answer is "Not much", and that makes me feel good. The NRS is different though, there is soooo much temptation there. I mean, who wouldn't like to come home with a Garratt under their arm?
As it was, I had to be fairly retrained. I've pointed out many times on here that I have more than enough projects knocking around, and don't need to add to the pile for a while.
But, there is a Timpdon steam railmotor kit. This has been on the list since I first saw one last year. I love railcars, and this will be perfect for the club G1 layout, and anwhere where we need a quick train between the chuffers.
Strictly speaking this is a Garden Rail project, and so I'll be building and writing it up in the magazine in a couple of months time.
A personal project is the Phil Sharples Hudswell Clarke Loco kit. This is a hangover from the last NGRS. Such an ugly loco surely has a place in my fleet. The only thing that stopped me was that Phil sold out of kits last year!
I think this is a Blog project, so watch this space, but don't hold your breath!
There are a few other goodies for the magazine too, but these will appear on the page in due course.

His loco tractor was the one thing I nearly bought. But I still have a stash of his kits to build for the grandkids
I've thought about the batt-loco myself, so I'll be watching for sure. Not that I have anywhere to run it, a line in my bare yard doesn't appeal.
The 'millionaire' game sounds like fun. I keep thinking of making 'cliche bingo' cards to take to shows, bus on bridge, Wills grotty huts, that kind of thing.
