The actual workbench, as of about 10 minutes ago, looking a little tidier than normal as the threat of a visitor last night precipitated the bi-annual clean-up. Bits of sprue and abrasive paper get swept into the bin and the work surface gets a wipe down with the nearest Persian.
The main activity currently is the never ending assembly of US freight car kits. They're quick and easy, compared to the UK equivalent, but they still take time if you're trying to build up enough trains for realistic traffic patterns. I've tried the ready-to-run models that are now more common in the US market, but they don't make an awful lot of difference to build times. I still need to take them apart to fit non-magnetic weights along with replacement wheels and couplers.
