Callow Lane - cobbling a la Harrap - Part 3 - keep them cobbles rolling!
Over the last few weeks, I've been doing a little cobbling now and then. It's been quite relaxing in fact, especially after a busy day at work dealing with the aftermath of the recent flooding on the railway.
Now I've got to the stage where the main areas for cobbling are now complete, namely the section between the goods shed and the nearest running rail of the in-laid siding, plus the 'four foot' area of the siding itself:
The remaining work is to scribe three rows of cobbles parallel with the opposite running rail, to match the opposite side, and then scribe cobbles for an inch or so in the Tetrion filler, to represent an area that used to be cobbled but is now covered with tarmac. Some cobbles will show through here and there, where the tarmac has worn away, something like what the red lines represent:
And now, a few more gratuitious photos of the area cobbled thus far (or, more correctly, the area with scribed granite setts...):
There are one or two areas around the base of the goods shed where I couldn't quite get the Tetrion to close right up to, so these will be disguised by some sacrificial scenic dust or greenery.
