Progress is always slower over the summer. Working on the factory offices. I’m going for a rendered wall that is failing. Have got this far. Needs more work but pleased with it so far. David

Been a while since I've updated, but just to say I'm still working away on this!

 

I wasn't happy with some of the building seen in earlier shots. The warehouse overpowered this end of the layout so I've moved it to the other side of the bridge and put in smaller buildings. This will mean I have to redo the bridge this end. 

 

On the weightbridge i have a question, looking for advice on how i show the fixings of the track to the weightbridge. Also what equipment would be the weightbridge hut.

 

Best Wishes

Most wagon weighbridges with FB rail are either bolted through the flange into the deck or the bolts are beside the rail with girder clips pulling down on the lower flange.

 

Looking at your building, it's relatively modern. If mechanical, a large (àbout 3 feet) round dial on a pillar visible from the window, or if electronic, a box about 18"" square facing the operator with a basic digital readout. 

Some form of heating, a desk, noticeboard, brew facilities and probably not much else!

Thanks the very helpful - There are very few pics on the internet Ive been able to find and none of the inside of a weightbridge office. So these are helpful. BW DC

Been a while… but after much fiddling about the bridge on the right of the layout now fits in its space.  I couldn’t get it to work until I pushed the pub to the back.


Took inspection from the famous ‘Persil’ shot from George Stokes. 
 

More work to do to bed it in and put more detail on - like a chimney on the pub - the Dinsdale Arms I think!

 

Best Wishes
