Something Shiny!

My wife and I recently celebrated 10 years of marriage. Apparently this is traditionally marked with a gift of Tin, so I was thinking a container of biscuits would do the job, however I was informed that something smaller, shiner, and much more expensive was required if I wanted to get to 11 years.

The bonus was I was also given something small and shiny - not so small or quite as expensive(!) but to my mind much, much more exciting...

 
Opening the box reveals a very flat-packed kit for a Hudson Hunslet diesel. This will be perfect for Thakeham (there was one there) if I can get it built in time, and alongside the layout, for EXPO-NG. However this is easily the most complicated and scary kit I have ever had!

    Nice!

    Presumably your wife was happy with an etched brass kit for a GWR loco then?

    Good luck. Scary kits develop our skills. I'm a little scared to start my Hesketh MD2 as well, but look forward to it anyway.

    Hmm, it wasn't GWR... it was small, round, Golden and with shiny jewels in it. Not half as interesting if you ask me!
