Fen End Pit - Washer plant - which way around?
Over the weekend I did some work on the washer plant. This machine took the sand from the resolving screen and washed it removing the small particles of clay.The mixed water and sand would be pumped to a cyclone separator where the water would be removed. On the previous version of Fen End Pit the trough was brick built but I wasn't really happy with this. I decided to reuse some of the rusty plasticard from the original fiddle-yard and make the main part of the tank out of this, surrounding it with a low wall.
I'm quite happy with the general look but can't make up my mind about the position of the 'gubbins' on top. Does it look better with the cat-walk at the front.
or at the rear?
While the FDM printer chugged away all weekend making walls I used the resin printer to make some track components. These are only meant to be for show rather than running, no industrial railway system should be without a few track panels ready for use.
I made the sleepers with holes in for the rail fast and then a separate sprue with lots of little bolts. The whole lot sticks together with superglue.
