Loading ramp
Was wondering what to do next on the layout when it occurred to me that I needed to add a loading ramp and some sort of buffer stop to the terminal. How else were cars going to get on/off the wagons?!
The result wasn't too bad I think. I just scratchbuilt something, not from any photos or anything either. The main Ramp was simply a folded piece of card which I glued some dirty yellow factory paper from one of the downloads I purchased from Scalescenes. A match became a hydraulic accumulator, the hydraulic Rams were just cut down track pins and the blue hydraulic pipe work was simple electrical wire, painted blue. Took about an hour to do and I'm quite happy with the results. Unfortunately I touched the corrugated entry shutter with some silver paint. Looks like I'll have to reprint a new shutter to replace it.
The iPhone isnt the best for photos. It looks a bit better in reality.
