Evening all
Time for an update, even if it's not all that interesting.
Modelling does slow down in the summer. Must be all those long sunny evenings (looks out window at rain and damp seagulls flying backwards in the wind)...
Inbetween the golf and the odd walk or two, I've found a little time to make a bit of progress on Cheddar.
We're on to board 5 which is where things start to get interesting track wise. This is bar far the 'busiest' board, as the tracks fan out into the up and down sidings. The sequence is the same though. The boards have the combination of ply track base and foam every where else. Tonight I've been sticking the foam laminate floor underlay down onto the ply track bed.
The Templot track plans have been laid temporarily just so you can get an idea.
The track has been laid across the board 7 to 6 join including the up sidings. I'm rather pleased to have acquired some of the LMS models short GWR buffer stops which will be perfect here. These were the sidings that housed a camping coach and the old Perry coal yard.
I got distracted for a week or so, playing around with the station drawings on Coreldraw. Don't think I'm too far away from the finished plan and being ready to cut some mdf. Still pondering the best method of doing the stonework though.
Modelling wise, I've managed to paint a couple of wagons but that's been about it.
