As a way to finish off a project before I move to work on other projects, I thought I would finish off Board 4. Since the last update, I was quite content with what I carried out, but in the months following, I wasn't happy with what I finished. So I ripped up what was the old road leading to the coal Merchant, taking all the grass away and using rough and waste ballast. I made this new road which I think has had a good effect on the layout and shows the differences between a Road and dirt path.

To add to this I added a tarpaulin, to do this I used a Chocolate bar wrapper (It was very nice thank you) painting the opposite side and leaving it to dry before placing it onto the layout.

So the End Result!! - It's lacking a J70 but they are not too far away and I'll put an update about there arrival and the different loco's we have available for N&SBLR when running at Exhibition, which I will also update you on.

With board 4 now complete, the next board has been started Board 5...

Using Inspiration from this photo, this will give you an idea of what our club member is trying to do.

So we might well see a J15 doing something similar on this layout as it progresses...

Anyway, that's it for 2018 - Hopefully, I'll have some new models in the coming months ie an N7 & J70 to play with and to add to the GE Collection, I'll have to get a new profile photo when they come out.

So thank you to all who have read & commented on this thread it's been great to write this up :-)
