A "Happy New Year" from O9 Modeller...
A new year and one destined to be full of change. Life is set to change again in a way that will put even more pressure on time and space in the Peake family 'cottage' for the foreseeable future. I think that this time it may be the catalyst for major changes in the way hobby time is conducted (if indeed much remains in the future) and the nature of what is produced. I've hinted at this previously with my 'nagging doubts' about the railway cupboard workbench (see 'Ten') but it seems to be the time to seriously consider the options, not least as I feel that the square footage occupied by the bench and legroom underneath may be required domestically.
So where could the workbench wander? Whilst the dark, wet evenings of the past week are enough to put anyone off wanting to move lock, stock and barrel to the workshop, it is an option, despite being uninsulated and rather anti-social! To be honest, I have grabbed a few moments in there of late for an ongoing diorama project, as seen here (more another time):
Also under consideration is some sort of portable workbench, maybe a return of the “kitchen table workshop”. I'm working through the potential issues so hopefully something will be feasible. As for what is produced, we shall see, the more eagle eyed will have spotted some excessive wagon tinkering again, including a potential diversion to O-16.5....
