Final part of the Coaling Stage build, in this it focus on final assembly, painting, detailing, weathering and even some soldering 
Adding the coaling drop to the front - the instructions were very vague on how it went together!
The time consuming part, hand painting the exterior, I applied a coat of light concrete and then dry brushed the exterior with light brick acrylics..
I then painted the interior walls white and then dry brushed dark brick randomly to the exterior brick work.
After painting the floor weathered black and touching up the brick work, I painted the exterior trim
After fitting the glazing, I weathered the interior and put a light wash of black over the exterior. Oh and painted the stairs..
Next up the roof was fitted.
Coal trucks added to the interior..
I masked every thing up and airbrushed the roof of the tank, once dry I added the platform for access to the tank.
The bit I was dreading making up and soldering the railings for the tank access platform - it went better than expected!
After paint the railings by hand, it was then a case of making up and fitting & painting the ladder support and trimming the ladder to length (the ladder & stairs will be fitted once the coaling stage installed on the layout..
Then it was back to paintshop for final weathering..
And that is a cameo, by another Timber Tracks building.
Till next time TBG
