Two 1950s/60s style fork lifts to work in the lumber yard. a little bright to start with but with some city dust weathering powder and a little light rust knocked down the shine . Two of presiers dock yard set installed as drivers ready to more or less complete the lumber scene. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
enginelane Posted February 21, 2021 Author Share Posted February 21, 2021 Day 49. Positively balmy outside so worked in the garage as warm enough for glue and paint to set. Painted scenic break, increased pad for metal working shop, glued down the yard shed and caboose being used as a base for the yard teams. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
enginelane Posted February 22, 2021 Author Share Posted February 22, 2021 (edited) Day 50 Just a small time spent modelling today as proof reading took up most of the day. Painted and first stage weathering of the concrete pad for the metal working shop that will be sited between the tracks on CHIRM. Will have a wooden fence surround. Also with the announcement of B Johnson today will be reviewing what to do in lockdown 3. Edited February 22, 2021 by enginelane Added text Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
enginelane Posted February 23, 2021 Author Share Posted February 23, 2021 (edited) Day 51. Post delivered 4 mm scale palleted sacs and IZA so that completes the stock needed for the club layout Bardun’s bagging plant siding. Images of real wagons suggests they have become very dirty whilst in use to the point that if you did it on a model would probably be told it was unrealistic. modelling project today was adding fencing and second layer of weathering to the metal working shop for CHIRM. Longer term in lockdown looking to bring Kiln Lane the small BR 1962 layout to be based in the house. Only problem is not told the wife yet.

enginelane Posted February 25, 2021 Author Share Posted February 25, 2021 Day 53 Delivery from Wizard replacing the wrong couplings and a hour spent making up mounting wires and preparing the couplings. Instead of using soft iron loops for the dropper I use a staple which when nipped together looks a bit like three link and still gets attracted by a track magnet. Also dusted on some AK cement powder onto the accurascale palleted sacs to knock off the shine. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

enginelane Posted March 3, 2021 Author Share Posted March 3, 2021 Day 59. A few days missed modelling as writing taking up quite a lot of the day. Have spent time looking around for a permanent home for Kiln Lane but sadly nothing has been found suitable without it compromising too much storage or blocking access to things like the bathroom etc! So it will be stored in the garage and brought out when needed. What has become apparent that by adapting some book shelving i can fit in a 5 ft board x 12 in plus a 39 in fiddle yard so might explore that possibility.

enginelane Posted March 8, 2021 Author Share Posted March 8, 2021 Missed a few more days of modelling as a tidying up blitz. Quite a bit of stuff has ended up in the bin as being more ruthless what to keep. If if in thirty years never used the bits then not likely to be doing so in the future. Have been doodling what might be done with the 9ft space as well as writing some stories if I decide to publish another book of short stories Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
