It has been a while since I posted anything of any real use here, so I felt it was my duty to all my devoted fans, or fan, to put something up here and look like I have a really serious interest in sharing my existence with others.
Since my last posting I have done another research (thats what I call it) trip to the Philippines and got started on some model scratchbuilding of same. Not an easy task with no real plans and being so far away.
In between modelling sessions I have found myself gravitating towards the airport at Mascot.
For want of anything else to show, below is a selection of photos from my most recent visit.

~~ MEMORIES OF BELMONT ~~

Last week I returned to the old Belmont line to look at how the bike track was progressing and how it was approached in the Redhead to Belmont section was handled.

The result is this small item I did showcasing areas two decades apart.

~~ SANDGATE CEMETERY - THE LAST DAY ~~

A return ticket, a bag of snacks, a lousy Kodak Instamatic and I was ready to head noirth and ride the last train to Sandgate Cemetery.

Not sure if the 13th of October 1985 was the most wet and miserable of Newcastle's history - but it sure came close.
