I'm still here. It's just that I've been doing other stuff.

No posts in 2025! Well, as the heading says, I've been doing other stuff.

I won't go into it as it is not that exciting.

I've still been working on the layout but not a lot. Most of the stuff was done in the last few weeks.

Over the last couple of days, I built a kit. This is my first kit in a while.

I popped into Casula Hobbies last week for some S and K truck loads, as well as some sleeper loads for WSC kits that I have. While I was there, I spotted a Silvermaz bogie water gin kit. I hadn't seen one for a while and I know that there is also the Casula Hobbies kit which is a little fancier but I didn't need fancy. I just need the the top of the kit for another track cleaning wagon.

I've already written about my track cleaning train - in fact this has been the most popular post on the blog.

I have a Walthers track cleaning boxcar. It's the same length as the water gin. Take off the body and modify the water gin tank a little and hey presto - a track cleaning vehicle that is based in New South Wales.

This one has a cork pad. The other one has a track rubber. The MHG has the Noch track brushes.

It's a different colour because I couldn't remember the yellow that I used the first time.

Now I have two flat wagons left over. Their story is for another post.

Until next time.
