Saturday Ramble – mojo

 Gradually climbing out of the slump where I really couldn't be arsed to do any modelling. Not that It's been particularly productive in the last week, but there has been some movement both physical, getting stuff out and looking at it. And mental, thinking and talking about getting stuff out. A lot of the reasoning is the fact that I/we lost ten shows due to Covid, and the one  show in Eastbourne aside have have fallen off the train. A long chat with Mr. Hill yesterday considered some of the options. These, in very loose terms, were:

• The recommencement of Rhiw 2 above which is in kit form with the track down, wired and the principle structures either built of half built.
• The upgrading of Svanda with more modern materials.
• The N gauge which is due to return to Beer in the fullness of time pre-Warley.
• Dury's Gap.

The first is the frontrunner as it is a) new, b) is modelling, c) would provide an excuse to relaunch an exhibition journey post pandemic. Dury's Gap is show-ready, but is really only a one day animal. Svanda is possibly the easiest, but has already done most of the decent shows in the South and so has less drive behind it. The N gauge has no redeeming characteristics on an exhibition level, although in some ways is a fast option.

The logic points toward a three pronged attack; I need some shows in the medium term to aim Rhiw 2 at, with possibly the back up of one-dayers for Dury's Gap. Check and test DG, hustle. There are changes afoot and I need to fire the mojo and create something.
