Popular Post Andrew P Posted June 20, 2022 Author Popular Post Share Posted June 20, 2022 (edited) The contents of which was a delight to see. A few Videos ago, I mentioned that I hate doing Buildings, and consequently I got a message from Nick, @Brinkly who I had spoken with a few years ago on a certain matter. The long and short of it was, that he was looking for something to kick start his Mojo, and he enjoyed doing building, so asked if he could do the Signal Box, Cattle Dock and Water Tower for me, to help the both of us. I agreed, and to say that I am both STUNNED and DELIGHTED with the final results would be an understatement. So here are some pics of what he has done. So the Water Tower needs a final resting place. And the Cattle Dock needs the Track troughs fitting, painting and the Dock bedding in fully. Edited June 20, 2022 by Andrew P 30 2 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew P Posted June 21, 2022 Author Share Posted June 21, 2022 This morning I've made a start on fitting the Rail troughs on the Cattle dock, and they will be painted and photographed tomorrow now as I have Band Rehearsal tonight so need to rest for the afternoon. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew P Posted June 22, 2022 Author Share Posted June 22, 2022 (edited) This morning I made a start on the Cattle Dock, that Nick, @Brinklymade for me, with the troughs fitted and painted last night, it was time today to make a start to bed the base in and finish that corner. Ballast was added to the Tracks, Gravel added to the area around the back of the CD and finally an embankment made to come down from the wall, and covered on Shrubbery. Once again, waiting for the PVA to dry, so more pics tomorrow I expect. Edited June 22, 2022 by Andrew P 19 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
