I await further tests.... Im fortunate that I have a DVA gold card or I would have been bankrupted... I was hopeful that it was something tangible like a tumour, stroke or even dementia but so far clear on that front. The test with the rubber bathing cap and electric shocks was fun... I think a Cat scan followed by a Lab test are next....

The incident looking for the long nose pliers I had in my hand for 45 mins was the final straw and similar has happened before then when I reailse that I have the thing im looking for in my hand I've forgotten the project but I still know what to do with pliers.

If Im doing something I do from habit Im ok, but new challenges are just too much of a CHALLENGE. My knee too is a problem here I have work to to under the thing and I cant kneel, getting under the van was fun too to take out the dead PLV and tempering valve, it will get to the point where I may have trouble finding where Im sposed to go, the Arguements I have with nagging Nancy (who lives inside my GPS) are incredible... It must have pissed Mr and Mrs Gnome off following us back from wherever we were.

Bluddy hell mate, are things with you really that bad?

This tramway has been a lifetime of love and development and you want to give it up?

Have you considered an apprentice to learn from you and maybe take over someday?

Sadly but surely the time has come to sell off the Tramway. The whole lot of it. This includes the layout with the power supplies, the unfinished projects e.g. the Scrubber Car. The trams themselves including the steam tram and trailer and the 6 remaining electric cars though I may retain car No1 just for sentimental reasons, the radio control gear, spare batteries, chargers, traction poles, the special tools I have devised to install and work on the overhead, numerous spares, bits and pieces; even the trees will go though I may retain the "lone pine" for posterity.

 

To see what you would be getting have a look at the blog, go back to the beginning what you see is more or less what you get….

The reason for the sale is this; I simply cant go on, I cant get down underneath the layout to do additional cabling that has to be done and I'm really loosing my marbles. I  cant put anything down, I cant stop a project and then return to it and it now takes me so long to do a simple job -  a 1 hour task takes a day assuming that I don’t stop halfway through for if I do then I just cant seem to pick up on it again…. Not sure if its my PTSD or the Insulin or I could blame it on Agent Orange. I'll put the proceeds toward my bucket list…

 

If you are interested or know anyone who is email me at lvet@outlook.com I have no idea of a price I think that’s going to be best negotiated between myself and the aspiring new owner….
