Test track with a twist

[Ivor_harley]

Afternoon fellow modellers. I have started to build what was going to be a test track but I got carried away and started build items around the track. The track is peco setrack with analogue power supply. 

I started to build a small platform and then I thought it would be nice to build a loading or goods shed from wood coffee stirrers. The shed is coming along great and the roof will have tin sheeting. 

Around the rest of the test track there will be a small embankment, ballast and some foliage. I hope it’s sounds good.

... some more pictures of the shed build in progress on the test track.

Thanks folks for the likes. I have painted the shed area and placed the homemade tin sheeting on roof. Primed and just ready to weather. Hope to have a picture up soon. 

If anyone is wondering the baseboard and sides of the layout are made from spare bed slats I have laid around in the man cave.

Hi the shed now has a coat of paint and the tin roof is fitted painted and weathered. I hope you like the pictures.

Hello,

Good idea using bed slats as they have a nice finish. I now wish I hadn't thrown all ours away when replaced our bed!

Hi Keith, 

The test track is looking fantastic. It looks less boring than a block of wood with track nailed in (that's all a test track is). I would love to see more progress on this

 

 cheers
