Hornby 4F Heavily weathered, ballast down and scenic work taking shape

blog-0981097001394353886.jpgHello,

 

Some more progress. I have heavily weathered the Hornby 4F as I was not really feeling the weathering it came with- see what you think?

 

Also I have made big progress ballasting and have decided to move the provender shed to the main yard. Here it will become a hazardous chemical/explosive store shed. It didn't have enough clearance in the main goods yard, and I probably just going to put a crane in the goods yard at Hopeguard or construct a custom made goods shed.

 

I have found a problem with the scalescene's method of construction- water makes the ink run nasty! So I am going to have to varnish all these buildings and the platforms! I have been adding grass cover to areas around the layout and its starting to get there!

 

I've also done a fiddle yard view showing where the locos and trains are stored 'off scene'.

 

Some more goodies are coming from Hattons this week!

 

Enjoy!

The weathering on the 4F looks good to me, I must admit to having a soft spot for these loco's, and no matter how much weathering you apply you can always find a photo of an example in a worst condition

Yes, it is indeed a new fav of mine!  I was nervous about getting a tender drive loco, but she runs like a dream and pulls like a beast!  The Bachmann 5MT struggles with the same load and thats after a shed load of weight has been added to it!
