Growing Risks

The risk of being distracted has become an issue, but not as I'd expected. I've dug out my Alan Gibson L&B Manning Wardle kit, and it needs completing. Motive power is pretty important, but wasn't Coach 3 about developing some of the skills, such as soldering?

Well it appears that my soldering isn't that bad. Nor do I think that my original approach to the Gibson (making it 16.5mm gauge) has created a show-stopper now that I want to use 14mm gauge.

I've therefore decided to change my objective to: “Build to 7mm finescale standards a rake of L&B loco and coach 3 within 12 months and at a cost of under £150.” I've moved modelling stuff out of my study and into our caravan so as not to be a temptation.
