Hi,
We've had a few working sessions on the run up to Christmas and we have been making good progress on the scenics. The Plaster bandage which we have used to form the basic terrain has been covered with a layer of textured artex. This is simple enough to brush on and when dry leaves a nice surface to paint with base colours.
The Bridge continues to make headway. We have been discussing various options over the last week or so, such as resin casting parts of the structure. If we choose to use this technique, then we will be able to use the moulds to re-produce repetitive items like the brick piers, which we are currently building individually.
The Catenary is coming along and 15 out of the 20 2 track portals have now been completed. Once the final 5 are done, attention can turn to the remaining 3 track portals which require register arms fitting.
But most importantly, we found time to have a little run on the layout before the year ended, so here's a little video showing the movements. The last two sections of the video are taken with a train cam and are trips around the layout.
Hope you all have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Cheers, Mark.
