  1. I've completed the layout today so here is another set of pictures. I'll be going back to take more in a few weeks when the owner has unpacked all his loco's and stock.

    This is the section I finished off today.

    The odd grey shape is where a wooden platform used to be.

    The ground won't be shiny - the paint wasn't dry!

  2. I spent yesterday working on Ophir and should finish it on Monday.

    My customer decided to have a water tank and to move the trolley shed, not correct but it does maker a nice scene.

    The road is Woodland Scenics buff ballast, coarse on the edges, then medium and fine down the middle.

    On the right is the area I still have to finish off.

    The steps will be replaced with a scratchbuilt structure.

    This view is impossible to see but the camera can get there.

  3. I've been back today working on the layout; I delivered all the buildings and spent the day painting the backscene.

    The space below the painting will be the hillside.

    Hopefully it looks a bit like Colorado.

    The raised store in the background disguises the corner of the room very nicely.

    The little hut in the foreground housed a trolley for track inspections.

    I've brought the pick up home to tone it down, it looks very bright at the moment.

    I don't go back now until a week on Monday but it should all be finished by the end of that week.
