G3 haul

 

The trouble with the rule that you can't go to a show without buying at least something, is that the purchases can be a little random. Good job I like random!

A nice kit for a Southern Railway concrete hut from Mels models. I've seen some concrete paint around, and want to try it out on this. The build might eventually become a Garden Rail feature. Just the sort of job that isn't too taxing, so could appeal to readers nervous of making models. It would also make a nice standalone build for someone wanting to dabble in a larger scale. 

Five velcro pads from RC Trains. Becuase I was looking for some of these in the boat bits stash, and can't find them. I can never find them. I swear one day I'm going to open a cupboard and there will be an avalanche of the things. I've bought loads over the years!

Finally, from the bring'n'buy, an interesting, and very cheap, cast plate that says "Tare 12 Tons". The label said wagon plate, but I'm not sure. Any suggestions? 

Talking of that stall, I felt I ought to own a length of G3 track. 

 £15 seemed like a good deal. Maybe when I get around to building some wagons to go with the loco...
