Woodie, today I added a new brass bell and roof-top whistle to the old Peckett with the bent chimney.

Looking fabby. TOOT.

That short downpour an hour or so ago caused the shed roof to leak all over the station area. a few things have warped. The nice Mr Leo at Allianz tells me the train set is covered by the policy as well.

I upped the excess at last policy renewal to reduce the premium a bit. Excess of $1,200. Plus I lose my no claim bonus on next premium. 10% ($344). So about $1,500 it’s gunna cost me.

Depends how much the roof apex steel beams are bent. Could be rather exxy for the insurance company if the support beams need replacing.

For me, lately, in never rains but it pours, so the speak. specially $$$$$$ wise.

Mr SES man tells me they don’t reuse the tarps they use to cover damaged roofs. I get to keep them.

Some good news in there.
