Grimleygrid Posted January 7, 2022 Author Share Posted January 7, 2022 Wednesday evening, I managed to find an hour or so to lay the sleepers either side of the washer plant road concrete pad. A few photos to show progress: 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

lyneux Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 I meant to post this a few weeks back… some members of DEMU’s London Area Group were privileged to visit Boxenby in person last year. Massive thank you to Alex for hosting us. The layout is even more impressive in the flesh… photos just don’t do it justice. Look how excited we look… Guy 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

One day it will make an appearance at Showcase! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will It wouldn't take up as much room if it was N, perhaps 2mm would have been a better idea 12 years ago!! Thanks Will, yes The Hill was a great place to visit. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grimleygrid Posted December 31, 2022 Author Share Posted December 31, 2022 Well I missed yesterday's anniversary! Sadly not much progress has been made over the past year. The only real news of note is that I have finished the design for the concrete pad for the refuelling point and had the pieces laser cut. Now assembled and rail laid. The concrete pad needs lowering into the baseboard. In today's post arrived a Toton Fuel Line Store Maintenance Office kit from Railway Laser Lines. Perfect for the fuelling point! A really nice kit. Happy New Year to all RMWeb members! 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grimleygrid Posted January 8, 2023 Author Share Posted January 8, 2023 The refuelling point concrete pad has now been lowered into the baseboard, the tracks leading to the fuel point need a slight tweak to line up, but nothing too major. I can now get the siding for the fuel deliveries in position and the road next to the shed. I have started assembling the Toton Fuel Line Store Maintenance Office kit, very nice it is too, which I hope to get finished soon. Hopefully over the coming weeks I can get a bit more progress made on the trackwork. 16 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
