Derekstuart Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 Paul Just try and make sure you keep this end of it super clean. Look what happened to the straight track at the other end- you made it look mid-life, slightly rusted and a bit dirty... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HealeyMills Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Hi Paul, Your latest installment of finished track looks outstanding. You must be pleased after all the hard work you have put into it. I see that you are also building the straight sections of track too and I wonder if you could advise me on the relative cost of this as opposed to buying RTR C & L track work for example. Is it cheaper building your own having bought the sleepers, rail and chairs etc? Cheers Lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was happy using the flexi till I seen how good the exactoscale chairs looked especially with the keys, it's a bit tedious but it's well worth the effort.

RMweb Gold PjKing1 Posted December 15, 2015 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted December 15, 2015 Rail painting last night, I've managed about 2/3 of this side, once they've all had two coats I'll start on the other side, also came across a couple more missing cosmetic chairs so that's on the to do list to.

RMweb Gold PjKing1 Posted December 15, 2015 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted December 15, 2015 Thanks Jinty, Brian I'm surprised the Mrs hasn't pocketed those coins! I'm trying not to rush the painting as I can't wait to start ballasting, but before I can start that I need install a bit of trunking on the left hand side of the board.
