So with all the lockdown hubbub im getting alot of modelling done.

 

Really am enjoying seeing the progress on this little corner. The ground cover is now in place and some green added to the concrete jungle. 

 

Take a look at the video for the retaining wall build and the ground cover going down.

 

Equipment Used:

Woodland Scenic Clump Foliage

TP Wild Flower Bushes

Gaugemaster small trees

Peco Static Grass self adhesive Clumps

Javis Brown Earth Scatter

Humbrol light Brown

Slaters embossed brick sheets

Plastrut 2mm square rod

Metcalfe curb stones

Polycement

Javis fast acting wood glue

 

Paints for the retaining wall are the same as for the platform edges. 

 

Building out and following logical steps from the backscene here. Using the card template method for the retaining walls is something i intend to carry on for other areas of wall i need to build as it made the build up of them alot simpler and also adds an extra 2mm thickness to a wall where needed. 

 

Next its on with building and facing up Jane Street Bridge and getting it ready for priming and painting up as well as building the mock ups for the Platform 1 ramp, this will probably form the weekends entertainment for me and next weeks update. Im going to take my time over the bridge painting and i am aiming to go with similar colours to Waverley Bridge in Edinburgh (Maroon, Green and Cream metal work) so the focus of updates will shift towards other things soon but there will be a dedicated final fitting and bridge opening video eventually.

 

Work have sourced me a laptop in the end so will be off to brave the virus on a trip to the office next week to collect it so updates will go back to about once a fortnight as i will have work to do in between working on Leith Central. 

 

In other areas i now have a basic track plan for the shunting puzzle and will be looking to make a start on this once ive got a few things ordered with the aim of getting this up and running quickly so i can do some running of some of the stock collection. Look out for that in the coming months on the channel.

Good work. I like the bus on the bridge. It brings back memories of when I was a regular visitor to Edinburgh. 

 

It would be good if your work could courier the laptop to you. Stay safe,

Thanks

 

The bus is a Sunrise Kit.

 

Silly thing with our work intranet where I can't access it from home without logging it in on a work rooter first apparently. Network Rail silliness right there :/
