In no particular order

Redesign Dock Road to fit into the smaller space available and re-use as much of the pointwork already built as possible and then (and this is the catch) assemble it!
Finish the Manning Wardle kit having now got a running chassis.
Build a web site for 'Wadebridge 1860s' and tempt some exhibition invitations.
Finally build the SEC P to scale 7 standards with inside valve gear of some description. The drawings are already done and posted.
Get the machine shop up and running - well I say machine shop, it consists of a Unimat SL lathe set up as a milling machine, a Unimat Basic PC lathe, currently being altered to use the SL 'sharp end' in milling mode with a custom turned vertical shaft, and a vertical drill of uncertain parentage.
Make a start on the Hatchette Flying Scotsman - yes I have all the bits. Question is 0Fine or S7.
Retire in the spring.
Complete the essays for the York/NRM Railway History course and sort out next year's subject (and pay for it!).
Keep the wife happy - not easy.:(
Provide some articles for the SECSoc magazine which actually adds something new.

Having re-read the above, I think I'll forget retirement and keep on working, it'll give me an excuse when we come to next year's list.:D

Happy new year chaps.

Well looking back at what I said in January it didn't happen, one of my two B12's is in the same condition as it was last December and I didn't build any wagons as a way of refreshing my grey matter, although I have made a start on five "Bucks":rolleyes:, I did however finish the commission work:thumbs:
My own personal "to be built list" is
1x WD 2-8-0
2x B12's
5x Bucks
5x Wagons
1x GER Sundry van
1x GER wisbech luggage/brake van
3x Brake vans
2x Wisbech coaches
"and a partridge in a pear tree"

Not saying what I'm going to finish of my own projects this year as it probably won't happen:headbang:but the workbench will be busy as the commission list has reached ten so far for 2012:eek:......and I still have to move house in Febuary, the words left, hair and don't spring to mind:oops:

ATB, Col. :D

For me I hope to:

Finish the A3 - getting nearer
Finish the 06 - a long way off
Finish the glass wagon Mmm....
Master the art of drawing for etching and have something successfully etched.
Build the F5
Finish painting and adding transfers etc to the already built rolling stock - ran out of grey primer whilst doing the A3 cab:(
Plan the layout
Start the layout - hopefully building the track at least.
Build a few more Slaters/Parkside wagons - I got quite a way through an LNER double bolster just before Christmas.
Finish the refrigerator van.
That should keep me going for a while:rolleyes:

Those of you interested in learning CAD there are lots of video tutorials for Draftsite which is a free application and the one I would suggest for 2d drafting available for Mac and Linux as well. But as with all things you will need to practice and use it regularly to get decent results

I plan to:
Finish the 37
Make significant progress on my EM layout
Start the Sentinel, or the 108, in 7mm scale (haven't decided which yet, but it's one or the other)
Have the prototype acid tank under construction by the end of the year

Of the two S7 projects, I suspect that the Sentinel might get started first, as that doesn't require much in the way of complicated drivetrains or suspension!

Which Sentinel are you looking at? I've had a couple of ideas for building another one at some point. [Rob got there before me!]

I don't know if I'll manage any actual modelling for a while, but if I do get any spare time, I hope to crack on with some etching and 3D modelling projects. :)

It's going to be a busy year :scratch: :eek:

1/ Move to new house (nearly packed and ready to go) !!! Yes, all moved in.
2/ Take over the double garage for my use only 8) Yes it's all mine ;)
3/ Persuade her indoors that it will be fine if I can just run a single line along the back wall of the dining room. This will enable me to run from the garage directly though and out into the garden, surely not a lot to ask :shit: SWMBO said not in a 1000 years !! :'(
4/ Finish off my jltrt 42xx. Yes, done.
5/ Build Finney 28xx ( only been waitting 2 years to get started :scratch: Still to do.:rolleyes:
6/ Build all the rolling stock that has been gathering dust since 2003 :) Getting there, slowly. ;)
7/ Then finally build the layout to run it on !!! Still to do. :rolleyes:
8/ Ho and in between install new central heating for the house (and garage 8)), and dig a pond.£7,000 later :( central heating installed, pond still to do.

Maybe I have taken to much on, ask me in a years time :))

ATB, Martyn. :thumbs:

Quite chuffed with what's been achieved this year, once the new windows go in the garage I will make a start on the baseboards. :thumbs: :drool:

ATB, Martyn.
