BobM Posted February 5, 2022 Author Share Posted February 5, 2022 (edited) Afternoon folks..... Although far from complete and remaining in its raw painting and weathering stage, have begun the construction of the retaining walls for the bridge side cottages overlooking the turntable and given a base coat of dark stone to the girder supports, will post further when available. Stay safe ans warm my friends please..... Regards always, with grateful thanks... Bob Edited February 5, 2022 by BobM 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobM Posted February 5, 2022 Author Share Posted February 5, 2022 Hi My Friends..... The station side of 'Llangeitho Bridge', which looked like this late this afternoon.... I have applied a darker grey dry brush tone to the lighter areas of brickwork and to cover the patches of DAS/ Artex that were stubbornly remaining white, so ended up like this a 'days end'...... Will work on the dark earth/ smoke weathering powders another night to follow, probably more than likely won't be tomorrow evening, as I am planning to be at Arley tomorrow so won't be back until late afternoon / early evening so will be too tired to do anything, save clean myself up, cook tea and go to bed! Regards always, Bob 6 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobM Posted February 7, 2022 Author Share Posted February 7, 2022 Evening All..... Have had a couple of hours on Llangeitho Road Bridge......and have completed as far as I intend to at the moment, and will place into position to 'work around', undertaking further weathering and tweaking as required to blend in as it requires, including the 'bollards'! So the state of play of play as of this evening is thus....... The station side of the bridge....... ....the engine shed / cottages side...... both ends of the road surface......... Will post further as the job develops..... Regards always, stay safe and take care..... Bob 4 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobM Posted February 9, 2022 Author Share Posted February 9, 2022 (edited) Nos da....! Hope all are well...? Here's a small step forwards, have formed up the base for the ground onto which the 'Railway Terrace' cottages are to sit and have fitted this into the section between Llangeitho Road Bridge and the turntable. The cottages and corner shop will be formed up in a general formation as shown here......hoping to make up back gardens or back yards that abut the wall of the road bridge......

BobM Posted February 10, 2022 Author Share Posted February 10, 2022 (edited) Sut mae? This is how 'Railway Cuttings’ gardens may look, mixture of grass and veg plot, the corner shop wlll be closed down, whitewashed net curtained windows....the larger gated area once used for parking may have a workshop / shed? Will add domestic things (washing lines, tin baths and anything I can come up with) too.

BobM Posted February 12, 2022 Author Share Posted February 12, 2022 Hi Here’s the state of play at close of business, just a few further setts to paint before proceeding to the next stage of the road surface, also have marked out the areas that are intended to have differing characteristics when it comes to the rear of the buildings, a mix of small grass area and vegetable plots? Will be having a ‘night off’ tomorrow as there’s a planned Arley day on Sunday? Regards always and stay safe guys, Bob 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobM Posted February 14, 2022 Author Share Posted February 14, 2022 Evening All...... The cottages and wall have yet to be worked up, the unfolding effect with the roadway and paving was totally unexpected, when the cottages are toned down the contrast will be less defined, there's just something I am unsure of at the moment, any suggestions? Regards always Bob 4 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
