Engine Wood

A quite splendid “Gentleman’s convenience” and damn fine stop blocks too!  Well done Captain 

Nice work with the powders, my Captain. 

Bog standard 

I reserve judgement until I've seen the insides.

(But the outside looks very nice, if a little clean).

 

Interesting that you've weathered the sleepers on the buffer stops items - how easy was it to then blend them with the track sleepers?

Rod and I are very grateful to CK for his splendid efforts in bog making. It's a splendid rendition which has captured the look of the small building albeit rather ornate with the lovely cupola. It is believed that it's now used as an S & T store.

 

The stops from Mike Franks are a delight and Tim's weathering is excellent.  CK to the rescue as time was rapidly running out before S4um!

 

Still a mountain of work to be done!

Whole station recently repainted, so the Gents had to match the other buildings, which Rod built. That said, I did apply some weathering with powders, having first sprayed the whole building (except glazing and roof slates) with Dullcote.

Can't say with regard to the track on Balcombe, as I didn't weather that, but I treated these buffer stops in the same way that I will be doing my own for Bethesda Sidings and using the same paint mixes. On Balcombe, the sleepers aren't fully visible now on some of them, as vegetation has taken over!

 

CK's work is even better in the flesh! My contribution to the building of the buffers was quite small!

 

Tim, what did you paint the buildings with?

Nick, I used Precision Southern Region green and cream (purchased at Wells).
