Last night I put down the second coat of grey in the station yard and this morning it looked like it had now completely covered the cork tiles (I've got a couple of packs going cheap if you'd like them).

So tonight the track went back down, as it's set track that is fairly easy (come on Peco, some new OO9 nine points please, plus 12" radius curves?) but this is premium Roco track so I did very carefully! Some of the holes needed a little prod, but it's all back down again except for the curve from the fiddle yard which has only this evening had its second coat (this is also why there is a point sticking up in the air).

This is the picture now:

For those of you wondering where the well tanned flesh is: It's the baseboard!

The painting in the station is perhaps a bit over the top. My next job is to slice some plasticard into strips to lay between loops in the lower station. That will form the base for the "platforms" in the case of the ZB they look a little like this:

So basically you have light grey (well almost white ballast) in the station and it's darker outside the station. Hence the two tone colouring....

BTW, Vollmer (who are about to shut down) does a model of the Mayrhofen coal shed:

Two key items to note:

1. In real life it's considerably darker wood

2. The water tower supplied in the kit isn't there...

If anyone knows if the water tower was there in olden days, then I'd love to know! Meanwhile. enjoy....
