    This is turning out to be a great cakebox layout. It’s great that you have used sieved top soil which looks just right.

    Nice work Jerry, looks really good.

    Rod I have just caught up with reading and looking at the pictures of your layout. This is a wonderful layout which is evolving all the time.

    Will be interesting to see how your cakebox progresses, you have some good items to produce a descent little layout.

    Its amazes me the stuff you can use around the house to do some scratch building.

    It’s great to see another little box layout coming together. As TA said it’s a good idea to reinforce the base of your layout.

    Today I have made a little fuel unloading point and a brick wall using plasticard, this will house a scratch built oil tank. The oil tank I have built using one of the wife’s lipstick and added a few parts, painted and weathered, need a ladder now.

    Coming along nicely Stuey.

    You can’t go wrong with a little Pug loco, there are so many different liveries and variations of these wonderful little engines.

    I like where your cakebox challenge is going. The steam crane looks fabulous.

    Berry I like your small oval layout, you could fit a nice little siding to add to the fun. Your 0-4-0 loco will be suited for those tight curves, DC is what I prefer nothing wrong with that. Will be waiting to see your next bit of progress.

    A nice little layout. The crane looks great.

    Hello Jerry thank you for your kind comments. I was nervous painting the concrete as I did not know how it would turn out but I am really pleased with. This afternoon I am going to make an unloading point for diesel tank wagons. Thank you to all for all the likes

    I think I have managed to capture the colours right on the concrete slabs along with a few crack. Once ballast is laid I can weather up the concrete with spillages and grime. My scratch built rickety shed is in place now and is awaiting grass and undergrowth to be added.

    Keith nice work on the cobbled yard.

    Today I have completed the rocky wall of the refuelling point diorama. Pleased with how it’s turned out. Some other bits completed today was to paint a dark earth base coat on some of the area to have grass added. Tomorrow I hope to start painting up the concrete slabs before I can add the ballast and grass.

    Thanks Jerry for explaining this with me. I saw a video on YouTube which shows exactly what you have explained.

    Geoff I like how your layout is progressing. I have been looking through the cakebox challenges new and old and there are some great pieces of modelling. Have you found it different changing to O gauge for your particular challenge. Im planning on having a bash at the round 3 challenge.

    Thank you Keith, I thought a light grey to start with. I have some spare plasticard leftover some I will do some test pieces first. This afternoon I have completed adding the plaster to make make the rock wall. Hopefully will put up another picture later.

    Yesterday I managed to complete the concrete slabs on the remainder of the layout. Today I have been busy preparing the the rocky wall area and some work on the little scenery area. I added some kitchen towel with PVA along the wall area this will also be getting a coat of plaster to form the rocky surface of the wall. A few pictures and much more to do.

    This is a super little layout, I like the idea of it being able to fit on top of a table. The thing I really like is that it’s not to cluttered and the ballasting, scenery and weathering is brilliant. Your fiddle stick is plain and simple but very affective.

    Thank you Mike that did cross my mind about everyday grime and spillages.
