Andrew P Posted February 10, 2019 Author Share Posted February 10, 2019 As reported in SMS, George T came down today for a play on SMS, we also ran the Ivatt and the 61XX on some goods workings after clearing the Bay of 6439 and the Autocoach. 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew P Posted February 10, 2019 Author Share Posted February 10, 2019 Also ordered some more bits today, another Signal for the Bay, and some Wills 4mm Point Rodding Kits that I used to good effect on Pen Y Bont, (although I will be using .07mm steel rodding instead of the Wills short bits of Plastic), plus a couple of other bits as well. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Andrew P Posted February 19, 2019 Author Popular Post Share Posted February 19, 2019 After a very busy few days of None Railway activity, I thought it might be a good idea to have a day off, and do some bits in TOPS working on BT. Having made and painted the Invertrains Station Building it was time for a test fit and also start on the Fencing and embankments behind the Buffers and the Bay Platform Line. Next job will be to blend in the Backscene properly and make up, paint and fit the Station Lamps and Benches etc. 21 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like the painting team has been around the station, a common presage to closure. Hope theres no doctor B around the corner. 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pwr Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Andy Nice as your station is I wonder if you have thought of a longer platform canopy. Currently anyone getting off from the bay platform would get wet. You could still have a free standing one and retain the current station. just a thought Great layout by the way Paul R 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And NO, the roof is as you left it mate, I need to buy some passengers and a Driver first, then get the Hot Glue Gun out to stick em in and hammer the roof back on. Hahaha. At last the carpet is coming today for the flooded hall that is now dry. It is now a discontinued line, but the Shop found a remnant in one of their warehouse.
