An update - at last

 

Sorry for the lack of updates.  I had been waiting until the weather warmed up so I could restart working on it, but...

 

Buxton has been put into storage after the landlord at our old address told us he had sold the house and gave us two months to vacate.  We found a property with two weeks to go but, unfortunately, there is no garage so I currently have no room to work on (or store) Buxton at the new place.

 

 

Thanks for the support over the years and if things change, I will post an update.  (I might just have room to do something with the N Gauge RhB stock I have)

Simon

A New Hope

 

On 2nd January, Buxton was set up for a running session. Here are a few pics taken during the evening...Most of my stock is on the layout along with a few bits of friends stock that were stretching their legs (or wheels?)...

 

The sidings in front of the shed look busy

Thank you for sharing the progress on Buxton looks great and pleased you have managed to get things underway again, I’m building a layout loosely based on the same area. I’ve recently purchased the fuelling station from MS models, a nice kit again thank you for sharing. Can I ask did you spray with primer before painting? Thanks Andy.

Hi Andy.  I honestly can't remember if I primed it but I would expect that to be the case

 

Cheers

Hi Tex

 

They are included in MS Models Fuel Point Kit.  More details are on the page 5 of this thread, the posts dated October 28th 2022 onward

 

I hope this helps

Thank you so much for the information - didn't realize it was a kit. I am building my own version of Buxton and have constructed my own fuel point. Combination of kit bash and scratch built and I was struggling with the ladders/walkways and actual the roofs of the pump buildings. Might see if MS Models would be willing to sell me the components for the ladders/walkways.

The first of a few updates...

 

A few weeks ago (before I brought the station board home) I fitted the brick Platform 1 edging. The edging on Platform 2 is stone with a couple of rows of bricks and currently still need fitting

Added detail to the 'wing wall' adjacent to the footpath

Fan window update

 

I have used a Citadel Colour Zandri Dust spray can for a base 'stone' colour for the wall.  It was applied without primer and it covered the white details spot on - I can definitely recommend this paint!

 

before...
