Bridging the gaps.
Nowt to do with Cadbury ( for those old enough to remember that rather iffy advert), more to do with building and fitting a couple of canal bridges and trying to achieve that Derbyshire stone look. Once the sculptamold is painted in and a earth coloured powder is brushed onto the stonework, I think it will look ok.
Yesterday I had my grandsons round. I handed my eldest, Jake, 7, the Power Cab, showed him how the point changed and left him to run the 24 with a wagon back and forth over the turnout. It stood up well.
Sorry no photo.
Finally, rewindingto the weekend, I spent Saturday at tge Silk Mill in Derby, helping the MRS to catalogue some of the vast material which is sitting unopened on the shelves of the Study Centre. I was allocated accident reports between roughly 1880 and 1910, and found them fascinating, as an insight into how thr railways of the time were actually operated!
Anyway, while I was there, I snuck a few ( poorish) photos of the excellent 7mm layout which is being constructed upstairs, for anyone who is interested:
