steve fay Posted January 16, 2019 Author Share Posted January 16, 2019 Coryton Cliffs is now 8’ long and the polystyrene has been cut in on the new section. Still some carving to do but that’s a job for another day. 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve fay Posted January 18, 2019 Author Share Posted January 18, 2019 (edited) Not a lot to see really, The Polystyrene has had a liberal coating of good quality PVA to seal everything and to give a good key for the plaster. First application of plaster Edited January 18, 2019 by steve fay 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just couldnt face the three hour journey on a Voyager this year! But hope it went well, shame to have missed seeing this. One question for you, the bridge with 'G' and 'W' on it over the track .. where does the track go? Knowing how detailed you've done this (as you always do) I assume its there in real life, but cannot work out where it leads to. Im guessing it makes its way up the hill and out onto the Teignmouth Road, but im not sure? Rich 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Adrian Stevenson Posted January 27, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 27, 2019 Having see the diorama in person today, I can say that the photos don't do it justice. Nice to meet you Steve. Cheers, Ade. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich I’m not to sure is the honest answer, this part is based on the section in the picture although I’ve ommited the centre tunnel, you can see the bridge circled in red. I have seen pictures of it so you can certainly walk down there, I’ve not done it personally though. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve fay Posted January 28, 2019 Author Share Posted January 28, 2019 Mat Rainer delivered the last two Mk1’s to me yesterday at Bristol. That takes the set up to 8 coaches. A set of TPO coaches will follow in due course. The prototype pair where on the layout yesterday. 14 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
