New scenic section progress

Having gotten the ballasting and track weathering done along with cable trunking. I progressed onto carving some foam and glued into place.

Starting new scenic area #2

Today the first bit of foam board went in to start the landscaping in the bare end. Also I dicided today to darken the brick work on a couple of the bridges, as well as making the plate girder sections a lighter grey as can be seen here. I've been looking at this for a while and do think it looks better now.

Starting new scenic area

Now starting on the undeveloped end of the railway. The cable trunking is down and painted so the ballasting can be finished. Have also made and painted a few other trackside items seen here together with the signal box I made last week.

LNER Signal box continued #3

The kit is pretty much finished now, balcony, steps, privy and other details added. All has been painted and then weathered with thin washes of humbrol light earth. I have glazed the model with some scrap plastic as none was supplied in the kit. I've also added barge boards to the gable end of the privy that weren't part of the kit, and made it some name boards.

LNER Signal box continued #2

So by the end of the days work I have the main body as well as the window frames and doors painted and in place. The roof assembly is painted and resting but not glued. This is to allow access to the interior for glazing and any other detailing I may add in future. Just the stairs and a few other fiddley bits to go .

LNER Signal box

Have started to develop the other end of the railway. Originally this was going to be and off scene area. But as the railway is only a simple double track oval running line I've decided to landscape this area also now. The area for storing trains/fiddle yard was a bit small for purpose any way, and why not maximise scenic area? There will be a junction in this part of the railway, just a small single lead type. This of course will require a signal box. I had thought to add one previously and fou
