Is there anyone still there

It would seem that I "fell off" .. well .. lots of stuff, not least keeping this blog up to date, so perhaps it's time for a brief update.

 

Lyghtondown continues forward but it's hard for me to tell where we had got to in the blog, all the old photos have been 'archived' (euphemism for deleted).  I know I was playing out with electronics (I still am) and that some success had been witnessed regarding actually getting things moving.

 

Anyway, we've been a little more focused and things have moved on and improved so here are a few images for the layout as it currently is:

The ballasting was the work of only three or four days while the management went on a "building" building marathon filling up the empty spaces with .. stuff.  There's still much to actually decide on and build however, we're currently negotiating the "greenification" of the landscape and have quite a number of trees to create and plant along with all the other paraphernalia that you can find in the oddest places.

 

Regards,

Jeff.

Very precise ballasting there. Looking good.

Thank you .. I took to using a paint brush (a "flat" one about 5 or 6mm wide) to push stuff about initially, then (having sharpened the end of the brush into a reasonably sharp point) nudged individual bits of ballast where I wanted them.  Only when absolutely happy did I glue it in place with Woodland Scenics "Scenic Cement" applied with one of those small glue bottles with the thin metal tube (the ones that look suspiciously like the end of a propelling pencil).
