I spent yesterday cutting out sets of steps to go between the road under the bridge and Station Road.

Once the side walls have been added it will be interesting to work out how I am going to fill in the rest of the embankment.

Thanks @chuffinghell & @lezz01. Takes a lot to keep me from modelling long. I've moved the wing wall near the steps as it looked all wrong and will incorporate it in with the steps wall. A big chunk of foam will fill in the area between the steps and Station Road.

I had thought that ‘combining’ the wing wall and the steps might look better.  Look forward to seeing the result.

I actually thought the wing wall and then the steps next to it gave the impression of different phases of building, with just a dark rubbish-filled gap between them, It's amazing how much that happens in reality. However, fantastic job on the steps mate, they look really good.

I kind of like them separate as well.

I'm looking forward to / dreading fitting point rodding and signal wires!

 

Signal wires - no. There may be an odd pulley and chain though. I suggest a visit to Specsavers (other opticians available) first before attempting point rodding.

A 2-roller, a 3-roller and a crank.

I was thinking of putting in the support posts and pulleys outside of the box. That's it. 

I'll have to work out the most prototypical rodding runs possible for my fictitious layout!

What you have built looks neat and logical.

The first turnout has been connected up to the box. A compensator converts the pull into a push to allow trains to go through the crossover. The camera has focused on the track.

The rod will continue to the FPL then on to the other turnout and FPL forming the crossover. The stool beds will be partly buried in ballast.

That's looking really good Jonathan, much more to scale.

Thanks, Al. I'm only doing a bit at a time otherwise I go cross-eyed!

Very nice, are you going to model the FPL treadles Jonathan?

Regards Lez. 

 

I don't think so Lez. Deflector ramps will be put in place where the FPL equipment should be.
