Bruckless Junction - an overdue update
I haven't been able to do a lot of work on Peter's layout since the summer due to holidays and work commitments. However, the ballasting to the front scenic section is finished bar weathering and I have done a bit more planting. On Phase 2 the track is laid and wired giving 12 long storage sidings for rolling stock and a fan of short sidings, served by a Peco turntable, for locos. Peter has stock covering the period from BR steam to the present day and some of this needs storing when not in use. There still isn't room for all the Irish Stock! Work is also well on with the container depot. The overhead crane runs on Peco 00 Code 75 rail separated by cutting down the centre of the sleepers. The whole crane area is infilled with plasticard to rail height and painted. Getting the paint of the sides of the rails afterwards took almost as long - the crane wheels seem to rely on picking up power from the sides of the rail head (mismatched profile?). Still a lot of work to do. Anyway, here are a few pics taken yesterday.
