The C&L track looks really nice, as does the latest building - stunning work! Looking forward to more. Will Hello Will Ballasting - usual stuff - temp screws for track alignment EVO Wood Glue and Medium Ballast. The "out of line C&L sleepers" have been duly remedied and spaced Ian Edited June 11, 2020 by Crisis Rail Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crisis Rail Posted June 11, 2020 Author Share Posted June 11, 2020 A decent drying day - the ballast was ready for a spraying within 2 hours. Railmatch Frame Dirt - Sleeper Grime - Departmental Freight Grey I used to hand brush the rail sides - but with decent masking it's a lot quicker. Married up with baseboard "A" - not too bad a match - The wall divider is loosely added and a trial section of id Industrial Backscene. I've not decided on the final one as yet.

The new 'fuelling/servicing' point reminds me a little of the shed at Leicester. Every layout needs a demic HEA!! That's going nowhere fast Gareth.

Ian Thanks @Crisis Rail / Ian, No, I still haven't moved it on. TBH, I still quite like it - so I'm torn But I should also really create some space and sell it on. I was going to advertise it on here (with permission from Andy) - but then lockdown happened (I did post some pics on a Facebook Micro layouts group- it got quite a lot of "likes" on there, so I may advertise it on there in the future EDIT: And of course, we are still in a more strict lockdown here in Wales too.... Trouble with me is, I really need to thin my collection. But as soon as I create any space - I'd fill it with another new project! ha ha Some of your photos are really convincing here Ian - I've had to look twice at most of them There's a "feeling" of reality and a sense of "place" as well as a very railway-like atmosphere. Top job sir Edited June 30, 2020 by marc smith 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crisis Rail Posted June 30, 2020 Author Share Posted June 30, 2020 "A sense of place" - I like that Marc - it helps to have been "there" in those places in the grime and grot of 1970's to early 1980's British Railways - then things moved on and got a bit hazy - time machine required please. Glad you are still the keeper - you'll only regret moving that on - although your denying someone else the pleasure...! Thanks Ian 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
