A visit

There was a small old car/machinery swapmeet near us yesterday, the first of hopefully many to come.  After that I had a visit from a good friend in his 1951 Citroën Light 15 Traction Avant, inspecting the progress on my Trainbarn.  I really enjoy visitors, for me that's what all the hard work is about. It certainly is my hope that once the 'barn is more 'finished' that groups of people, such as old car clubs, will enjoy visiting it while they're in the area.  The roads and general scenery around our area are absolutely perfect for old cars to amble around on, perhaps visiting one or more of our excellent wineries along the way.

No trains set-up or running yet, of course, but some good progress in my new workshop/office, with the new shelves becoming ever more full.

It's been great moving stuff out of storage and making it usable again after quite a few years.  Finding a few things I'd forgotten about and generally enjoying some sense of order again!  Still lots more to go, as always, but great progress.

There's also a new little kitchenette for making smoko!

I couldn't resist a small display in one of the top shelves, some 1: 18 scale Citroëns.

A start has been made on the big storage shelves along the back wall, and these will come together quickly, hopefully finished by the end of the week.  It's certainly great to have the time to get all this done!
