Update on room. All sorted now along with a new and more comfy chair to sit in to do my models.

@KnucklesSCC Thank you

[Fido’s Model Railways @Fidosmodels]

My layouts are now on a table with casters so I can pull them out to work on them. My desk is still a work in progress. But also have a display cabinet to the side to hold my models I’m working on to keep them safe.

Hi all sorry i been so quiet. Long story short having a lot of issues with my fibromyalgia and being in a lot of pain daily at the moment and can’t stand or sit for to long however with help from family are making my modelling area and layouts easier for me to work on.
