Hello.
Its common knowledge that after a low there is alway a high and I am not different. I have managed to fit in quite a bit of modelling again this weekend!
Firstly Saturday was once again spent in the company of Mark at his workshop and this time it was time to work on the fiddleyard board at the back of the layout which will hold the cassettes. As with the semi-circular end boards the fiddleyard board was supplied as an amazing 'flat pack' from Alan S of 2mm fame and went together with little trouble. I am now left with quite a bit of track building infront of me to get the boards useable (once my order for more track arrives!) Once again a BIG thank you goes to Mark for his help (I hope I wasnt too much of a pain), and Alan S for making such fantastic bits of woodwork.
Lastly today I was planning to make a start on assembling the point rodding for the layout as this time I would like to get this in place before I ballast the track, but it didnt quite work out like that...
...There has been a part of Highclere that has been really bugging me for a fair time now namely the goods yard and more importantly how the good shed 'sits' into the landscape. Plans and pictures I have are a bit sketchy around that area and after numerous visits to the station I was none the wiser (the land has been landscaped since the railway was closed). Because of this the area on the layout was still bare styrene, it was starting to stand out compared to the rest of the layout so I just had to do something about it. Using my imagination I have come up with this...
The cattle dock is now firmly attached to the layout but the goods shed can be removed if I need it to be repaired or something.
Im glad that bit is out the way! What was a bit of an eyesore is now something I am a little proud of.
Missy
