Bo-Bo Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 These crates are really good for a small layout, a really nice start. I like the building/warehouse, look forward to seeing this develop. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Penybontshed Posted November 20, 2019 Author Share Posted November 20, 2019 I’m glad I tried this clay out first! Think I will stick to ballasting the track with out the clay after! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penybontshed Posted November 20, 2019 Author Share Posted November 20, 2019 Further progress, but I’m wondering about the ballast colour? 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TechnicArrow Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 Looking good! It's nice to see this old kit getting a run out again. It's nicely framed by the box, and there's plenty of space for non-railway things in the scene too. RE ballast: as always, first find some photos of what you're trying to model. I'd say an industrial yard would usually have pretty poor, dirty, fine ballast - ash, grit, compacted soil etc. In model terms, as I'm a cheapskate student, I've used both garden soil and beach sand with success, depending on the shade you want. Soil needs to be carefully dried and sieved, to remove any over-scale lumps; not too carefully though, small irregularities look right at home in this kind of scene. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penybontshed Posted November 26, 2019 Author Share Posted November 26, 2019 So track painting nearly completed, time for a try out on the motive power front Some choices perhaps rather large! 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
