Also more progress has been made on the flats with the balconies and chimney stacks added.

Drabford's first show badge.

I would like to thank the Neepsend Model Railway club for inviting Drabford, it was a great show and a very enjoyable weekend.

Hi to all, 

Drabford will be attending the Mansfield St Peter's model rail show on Saturday 2nd and Sunday 3rd March 2019.

Progress update, the second block of low relief flats have finally got the roof tiles finished and have been painted, but there are still a few more details to add.

Here are a few pictures of the roof tiling, using a cereal box cut into strips.

"like" is probably too strong a word, but those flats are very reminiscent of many a block in the Sheffield area! :)

 

The idea came from council flats in Littledale Sheffield.

I have been making some new buildings to fit along the backscene, a 4 storey block of flats, a pub and a shop. Here are a few pictures showing the construction.

And after cutting up the rear shutter door, and adding man loading mail bags.

Looking busy at Drabford with mail and newspapers being loaded.

A running session before Drabford attends the Mansfield show, and a rare visit to Drabford station with the structure gauge measuring train.
