RMweb Gold Sweet pea Posted October 6, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 6, 2019 (edited) On my workbench I have started work on a small diorama, the size is 24cms x 11cms. The theme of my diorama will be about 1 loco and 1 wagon being shunted towards a coal staithe for unloading, this will be Era2. The baseboard i purchased from Homebase as I have seen another member use this type, which is ideal for small dioramas. Here is a picture of the start of the diorama.

RMweb Gold Sweet pea Posted October 6, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted October 6, 2019 (edited) While I was at Shildon model railway exhibition yesterday I purchased on of these cute little laser cut staithe kits. This will look nice on my diorama. Edited October 6, 2019 by OOman 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Sweet pea Posted October 7, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted October 7, 2019 (edited) Hi last night I managed to build up the area to be grassed. This area will also have a tree and some wild flowers. The coal staithe is in place ready to paint up. This morning I have ordered the cobbled sheet ready for the coaling area. As always a picture of my progress. Edited October 7, 2019 by OOman 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Sweet pea Posted October 8, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted October 8, 2019 Hi some progress today on my diorama. The cobbled area of the coal yard has been fitted in place and weathering has been carried out. I’m really pleased with the way the cobbles have turned out. As always a picture of my progress. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lovely cobble detail, Kevin! I also like that little special staithe kit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Sweet pea Posted October 10, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted October 10, 2019 This morning I managed to get the ballasting done, really pleased with the way it’s looking. Need to wait a good day now for the ballast to dry and set. A few pictures of my progress. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
