Afternoon all,
With all the usual things going on in the year ( and a few extras ) modelling has been a wee bit on the slow side but one or two things have been managed.
The one thing i wanted to try and complete was my water tower. I managed to get started back in April and it`s been slow progress since but apart from making some dummy lights i`ve just about finished it. Hopefully i can manage to add a couple of pictures at the end of this blog.
I took inspiration from watching Ian in his Camden blog in the layout topics section and more or less built it the same way but i jigged the frame a different way when soldering. So if you read this Ian, many thanks.
It`s an all brass construction except for the tank cover and frame plates which are both plasticard.
The hand rails were made from brass wire and tinned to help with the paint.
The five ash tubs are again plasticard made and i used Graham Farrish N gauge wagon axles with the pinpoint ground back to the axle diameter and they stand on suitably buried track, the idea coming from various pictures.
The next bit to make now will be some water columns, if i can find a suitable picture to use as a reference.
Hopefully the pictures are on here and haven`t disappeared into the ether!

Cheers just now.
