1 - Kyle - That's all folks...
Update - Good morning - my final update as I start to pack my hand luggage for our flight today.
There are a good number of things we didn't get done and a fair few that I am not happy with, but I have now run out of time and the layout will make its UK debut tomorrow at the Burgess Hill Model Railway Club Exhibition as planned.
I am hoping their will be time this evening to do some last minute stuff, i.e. toning down some of the scenery, applying some MIG powders to the rolling stock etc. Unfortunately my TPM class 26 will not be making an appearance. Despite getting some BR Blue aeresol sent to my parents address for some pre exhibition loco painting , when I ran the loco chassis the other night it must have split gears, so I will leave it for my return.
I did not manage to start the station building but rather than spray it grey I thought I would just leave it in white card as a 'work in progress'.
I attach a few pics showing the components and will report back after the exhibition with my thoughts.
The first photo shows the state of the some layout 18 days ago and the following pics demonstrate what has been achieved spending on average 3 hours a day in the evenings...
