As I was feeling Loco'd out, a client brought me something else to build - a Timber Tracks GWR Coaling Stage.

Initial impressions, it's a big kit - in fact Mum when she saw the box assumed it was 3 kits!

 

First up the instructions guide you in easily, with the relatively simple task of building the tank - in fact this shows the way the whole construction of the kit will go (layers)..

Next up is starting to build up the main part of the building...

 

First up the carcass:

Next up, the inner ground wall veneers (the vee block was made by me, nearly 30 years ago).

Then it's the first floor.

Next it's the inner first floor veneers (pegs and clamps come in handy here).

Outer walls next - these align quite easily.

Due to not being a "Gold" Member I've reach my 10 MB limit for this part - part 2 will follow shortly.
