New Post: Saving my Chaos Knight
How I saved my broken Chaos Knight model with some stressful drilling
Great time today at Southampton Model Railway Exhibition.
Thanks to David and the McKinley Railway team for answering my many DCC and computer-control questions. I’ve been following the project for years, so it was fun to talk to the people behind it.
🦉 Owl watching
🚅 Model trains time 😍
Wonderful display by two short-eared owls yesterday, including a guest appearance from a kestrel. See the full album
I couldn’t resist buying this when I went to London. Lovely little set to get back into building. I forgot how annoying stickers are 🤣
Nice day exploring London. St Pancras is gorgeous, with Paddington ranking a close second. King’s Cross is lovely too. It’s a shame it’s mostly behind the barriers. The Elizabeth line is good; I’m a fan. The shops being surprisingly quiet was a nice bonus.
💂♀️ First solo trip to London 🥳
💻 Time to try this Eleventy thing I guess
📷 Processing far too many long overdue photos
😴 Ate far too much at Spoon Buffet and now can’t move
😑 First train of the year and it’s running late

A look back over my 2022
Finally seen a short-eared owl. Well worth getting stupidly wet and cold for 🤣.

🦅 Bird watching and getting very wet
🙃 First day back at work after 3 weeks off. Time to make computers go bleep bloop again.
🛫 Back to reality
The Amazing Maurice (2022) 🍿
4/5 - Surprisingly good

World’s Greatest Train Journeys from Above (S1) 📺
5/5 - I know I’m a train nerd, but this was fantastic. I think I have some new travel goals. The DHR’s NDM6 was a real delight, it reminds me of a mini Class 08 🥰. Also the Hudson Bay Railway’s green and white stripe livery is 😍
The Blues Brothers (1980 - Extended Version) 🍿
5/5 - This film gets better every time I watch it.
Movie friend
Disney’s Newsies: The Broadway Musical (2017) 🍿
