I have now completed Fort William station with the addition of the canopy. It is scratch built using plasticard and plastruct materials. I am rather pleased with the results, doubly so as this is the first serious attempt I have made at scratch building anything.
On the downside, the Fort William station section is suffering with electrical problems on the power BUS and point motor alignment. What is doubly frustrating is that I tested all power and point motors on the workbench before returning the section and re-connecting all cables. Despite my extensive vocabulary of expletives, I am struggling to find words that reflect my thoughts!
Initial canopy before painting
Progress, the canopy stands up!
What I want to re-create
Painted canopies
Station name boards added
Station returned to Fort William section with 37049 testing the power and point motors
Looking good so far
Loco stall and errant point motor will not budge!
Given up on electrical problems and started running instead, 37039 crosses 37191 at Ardlui
Just for 'Healey Mills' Lee. Yes I have an ETHEL for the air con sleeper.
