Happy days Steve, enjoy your pending leisure time, best thing that happened to me !

Thanks for the kind sentiment Grahame, I intend too!!

I tell you what there ain't much to criticize there, lovely attention to detail and do you want to come and do my ballasting by any chance?

Hello Steve (good name...)

 

Thanks for your kind words,- I've never rated my ballasting as anymore than 'adequate', it was done the usual way - laid dry on thin cork (to give it a small ballast shoulder) using a paintbrush to coax it between the sleepers, and then fixed using watered down PVA glue applied (very) carefully with a drop of washing up liquid, using a small syringe. Finally when dry the rails were airbrushed using diluted HUMBROL enamel (track colour).

It helped my sanity that the layout was small!!

 

Regards,

Steve
