As can be seen in this first pic, I have made a good start on refreshing the Scenic's.

 

Looking at the area above the control panel you can see how BALD it was looking compared to it now finished.

 

 

 

Tomorrow I will make a start on the rest of the Yard to bring it up to the same Standard as the Bridge End Sidings.

Looking really good Andy. Almost crying out for the weed killing train!

Will have to start my track weed growing (legal grass)  session soon.

I can't kill my grass, it' will take all the character out of the Layout, Grass, (YES Legal type) is good.

You had me worried there for awhile as I thought how on earth did Peters get his Friday before I got mine!

 

I know he's fast with the layouts but . . .

Now that I've sorted out the day I thought I'd lost, and I'm back on track so to speak, I Jet washed the garden furniture after my walk and breakfast, then watered the garden, and FINALLY into the POD for some more modelling before lunch.

 

So a freshen up of the original Seven Mills Sidings and some bushes along the boundary wall.

 

Firstly as it was.

 

 

And now.

That'll make your walking round the yard videoing much more treacherous! Looking good, Andy. Trevor

The Sun is shining this morning as I look over the Mills Lane Bridge and see 25054 and 40007 in Bridge End Sidings.

Cracking shot today Andy think the grass in between the tracks needs some oil and crap on it those blue locomotives were always leaking coolant and oil 

[pwr]

The new grass makes it look very Spring like Andy. Very impressive.

 

Perhaps you should refresh it every season. I'm looking for the flour covered layout in winter!!

Chatting to George, @georgeT of this Parish earlier, and I will be going over with a very light dusting from the Air Brush to tone it all down a bit.
