First Buildings

Hallo again.

 

If you think you saw this thread already today well you did, but in trying to replace an incorrect photo I somehow managed to delete it!

Anyway, I'll try to remember what I wrote before...

 

I have now completed wiring in the point motors on Little Midland, and the buses are in place and I just need to cut through the brass sleepers at the ends of the layout before I can try it out. All points are switching, which is encouraging.

 

I have also been having a go at a couple of buildings for the layout. The reason I needed to edit the earlier blog was because I posted the wrong photo of the goods shed, which on my first attempt I managed to (embarassingly :blink: ) get the bricks vertically on two of the sides..... must wear my glasses more!

 

Anyway here is an attempt at the coal office and the (fixed) goods shed.

I probably overdid the weathering of the brick a tad.

Due to lack of photos and drawings of the whole buildings, these are built up from what I CAN see on the images I do have, and patched in with evidence from elsewhere.For instance, the odd arrangement of windows on the coal office front are the only feature I CAN see on the photo I have.

At a later time,these may have to be rebuilt, if more accurate information comes to hand depending on how sane I am by then.

I already know a couple of details are wrong, but I'll keep those to myself for the time being!!

B)

Chris

Lovely buildings, Chris. I would have liked to see the vertical bricks though, that sure would have been different :lol:

Trust me Mikkel, you wouldn't see anything until you magnified them - promise! ;)

One thing which is hard to get used to in 2mm is that enlargements show up any faults in your building.

Hopefully when on the layout they will look ok.

 

Steve - I hope youre moving Old Smokey forward now

How is that 57X coming along?

I don't think you have overdone the weathering Chris. Nice looking buildings. I know what you mean about the glasses without mine on the millimetre markings on a ruler won't stay still!
