Finally got round to painting the retaining walls along the edge of the LM yard. About 9 foot of it.. :blink:

It was all painted in a concrete colour, allowed to dry then a colour mixed about 50/50 matt black and Humbrol 26 ("matt dark earth" I think) brushed diagonally over the raised bits. took about 3 and a half hours including brew breaks. I think it looks ok.

 

Steve's now started the GW station track laying. The station throat board is removeable at the moment, so it can taken down for wiring and fixing up the point motors. It will then be fastened down permanently in the hope that nothing fails below the basebord :lol: :lol: :lol:

The wall looks great, reminds me of Tetley Mills. This is the first time i've seen your posts but i'll certainly be keeping a lookout for more updates, keep up the good work!

 

Cheers, Richard

Ta Richard, Tetley's Mills was definately a bit of inspiration but my fave layouts for nicking getting ideas from are Heyside (7mm) and Wibdenshaw (EM gauge I think) both industrial masterpieces.
