This week has been spent working on the track panels that will lead into the quarry & the main tunnel -

Now the feed wires have been attached (cannot call them droppers - they'll be buried in the foam trackbase!), the sleepers will be 'grimed' and the rails 'rusted'. All will then be fixed in place with my usual mix of 'Cascamite' & bird sand on the aforesaid 'Depron Foam'.

The quarry tunnel really was a tight fit as the (rewheeled) ventilated van shows. Of course this is a Peco 'N Gauge' van so is slightly overscale anyway!

Work has also progressed on the two tunnel mouths which are also ready for multiple layers of paint/weathering -

More to follow - but may be delayed as I now have a commission to build a large (about 2m square!) 'Architects Model'. Ah well, back to the 9-5 routine!
