RMweb Gold Donw Posted December 11, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 11, 2020 Excuse going off toic a bit but if you like bad track... well you cannot match the real ones for reason of physics but this is probably the best really good bad track modelling I have seen. Do see the video https://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/80236-american-o-scale-portway-high-line-sub/page/10/ that would not be easy to achieve. No not for Bench Road.

RMweb Gold Adrian Stevenson Posted December 12, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 12, 2020 Hi Andy, I was watching this vintage video about track maintenance the other day and found it really interesting. Typical public information film of the period . I like how several of the men are wearing Army surplus as workwear. The track and ballast look immaculate. The film is in two parts and explains a lot of useful technical detail. Cheers, Ade. 2 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew P Posted December 12, 2020 Author Share Posted December 12, 2020 This morning I made a start on the back wall. I've used Slaters 7mm walling. Then a mix of colours. Splash and Splodge it all over. Then wipe off with a wet sponge and finally a tissue. Coping Stones will go on later. 16 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew P Posted December 12, 2020 Author Share Posted December 12, 2020 I also re did the Cabin lights, replacing the Grain of Wheat Bulbs with LED's. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew P Posted December 12, 2020 Author Share Posted December 12, 2020 I then painted the area around the Cabin, although it will probably get covered in Ash and Ballast later. I used two different Greys and a Black, all water based, to make cleaning up easier. And mix on the Layout to ensure it is NOT just one colour. 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew P Posted December 14, 2020 Author Share Posted December 14, 2020 So a busy busy morning, up to Bank and then a start on the Embankment (see what I did there) on Bench Road. Just some Ex Mince Pie boxes and the hot glue gun. Nothing fancy as the Flockery and Foligery will hide it all in a few days time. 10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
