Me too!  :)

But one of the problems with long breaks with no modelling is that it takes some time to get back in gear.
I takes som sessions at the workbench before I get back in shape. 

Not to mention picking up some strangly shaped piece of brass thinking "what the heck did i make this for?"

Hi HÃ¥vard
I'm very happy to see an update from you! Even if you point out that you haven't spent a lot of time at the workbench last summer, these bogie sides look highly promising to me.
I told you once, how much I love your project no matter how long I have to wait for an update. Indeed, one needs to take a long breath to to pursue such challenges to the end!!!

But I am also alarmed by the fact how perishable modelling skills are. I have become very rusty with my modelling skills too, and had been shocked recently, while trying to restart a new project on my desk: I had not been aware how my hands are shaking after that long absence... :-\

Keep up your inspiring work!
Cheers, Peter

For parts that are just lying around as decoration, the truck sides look really good.

They are indeed built for laying around looking gorgeous in the workshop, but as I have revealed in another thread building this is also a way of tricking myself into building the last of the three engines of this tyoe that the Thamshavn Railway operated. So all stops will be pulled for building the engine parts!
