RMweb Gold Popular Post Adrian Stevenson Posted October 31, 2021 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted October 31, 2021 Back off holiday now and finally having chance to work on the layout. The glazing has now been fitted to the branch set and the guards duckets done with glue n glaze. Got to refit a door handle which has come off. Also the number plates have arrived for the 517. Long way off from that stage though but nice to have them in stock. Cheers, Ade. 23 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew P Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 Hi Ade, I hope you both had a good break mate. I was looking for your thread this morning and wondering where you had got to, then I remembered the holiday. All looking very good, have some MORE Trees grown whilst you've been away? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Adrian Stevenson Posted October 31, 2021 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted October 31, 2021 Hi Andy, thanks. Holiday was superb. No more trees, but my hedge has grown outside lol.

RMweb Gold jamest Posted November 5, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 5, 2021 Hi Ade, Can I ask what ballast you have used? apologies if you've mentioned it already. Love the look of your track work. regards, James 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Adrian Stevenson Posted November 6, 2021 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted November 6, 2021 Hi James, thank you. I have this one from Woodland Scenics. Track is laid on cork, weathering is a spray coat of sleeper grime, followed by weathering powders of a dark brown / rust mixture to the rail sides. Ballast has been weathered with water based matt black to represent oil etc. Cheers, Ade. 2 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Adrian Stevenson Posted November 6, 2021 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted November 6, 2021 Buffers and couplings fitted to the GUV. One of those fiddly little jobs that always takes longer than expected. Interior given a coat of grey green paint too. Seats fitted into the branch set carriages and started to fit the gas pipes to the roofs. Cheers, Ade. 12 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
