The Works - Walls Up
The walls have gone up and after a lot of MacGyvering everything has come square - phew!
The above shots are through a couple of the openings in the opposite wall - these will have either removable mirrors or wall blanks for internal viewing.
This shot is through the left hand door opening on the left hand gable wall. This end has been designed so that the entire wall can be lifted out to provide an unhindered view into the interior even when the roof is on.
There's a few details to completed yet at this stage and then it's on to the roof structure. It'll be another wire effort similar to the one I made for my Barrow Hill layout.
I was down at Mark's Model shop in Cork today and had a chat with fellow RMwebber 'Georgeconna'. His weathering techniques are the best I've ever seen - really spot on observation - anyone interested ought to look him up. We hotly debated Hornby's decision to increase their Rail Road range of steam locos. He had several out of the cupboards to show me the difference in detail. Before today I thought access to cheaper locos was the way to go for all of us, but after having seen things close up I'm not so sure now. I'm going to have to populate my works with a lot of locos, but now I'm faced with a real dilemma - price over quantity. It's never easy this hobby is it?
