Coaling up

I've not been modelling as much as I like to recently probably due to my highly busy 'Rock N Roll' Lifestyle. I recently bought Brass masters ladders and managed to solder them together without them having huge blobs of bad soldering on them. I only really needed one for the coaling stage, but as there is two in the pack I made an impulse purchase of the Ratio Coaling tower and kit bashed it a bit, it was a bit of an impulse buy, but I didn't think my coaling stage would have been sufficient for the coaling of my loco's, I found some where to squeeze it in.

Thank you Londontram, I'm pleased with the result. I didn't want things to be overcrowded but I'm struggling to to get bits and pieces to fit. I'm currently constructing the sand house and have spent some time on it, only for it to be placed behind the engine shed out of sight.

That`s some nice modelling. I know the feeling when you can`t always put things where they really should be on a layout, very frustrating.

Hi Paddy, sorry not to answer sooner but I`ve only just got back on the computer. Thank you for your kind comments. The puddles were created using Woodland Scenics Realistic Water. It really needs using around this time of the year as it cures better above 50deg F. All the instructions for using it are on the bottle. I find adding puddles adds just a wee bit more to the overall effect. Apologies again for not answering sooner. Although I`ve used this forum for a while now I`m never really sure if I `m in the right place when answering people.

I shall watch your progress with interest.

 

Cheers just now,

Jim.

Thanks Jim, I am mightily impressed with your layout, its very atmospheric and well thought out with excellent modelling. Thanks for the tips with regards to the water, my layout is in the conservatory so the preferable high temperature is no problem!!

 

Cheers Paddy
