For the first time in six weeks I got a quiet, peaceful - delightful - Saturday. I spent most of it cleaning up the huge mess I have let accumulate in my workshop as I completed several recent projects - putting everything back in its place, etc. Afterwards I wanted only a small, several-hour project and this was perfect. I've wanted to have Chief Superintendent Christopher Foyle and his driver, Sam Stewart, from Foyle's War, on the layout for some time. That series is among my wife's and my favorites and we are excited that the eighth season (the war is long over by now, he joins MI5) will be released in the US next month. We can't wait: until then I modeled our favorite scene from the series, although having no seaside warehouse district on the layout, I had to move it to the edge of town.
... I just remember the bombing scene from Season 1:Episode 1.
