Evening all

Have had the luxury of a week off work and so have turned my attention to the second board.

The platform has been built from ply sleeper strip and the water towers added at each end. These were made out of brass sheet and riveted with my GW models riveting tool.The supports are Evergreen strip.

Also added are two of the sheds. The left hand one is going to house the ganger's trolley.

Still a few bits of paintwork to touch up but I'm pleased with how it looks.

The trackwork has had the usual Das clay and baby/mig powder pounced on. Cosmetic kick over point levers have been added from MSE.

One of the 4 wheel Met coaches (WC&PR No 7, now restored Met No 353) has been plonked on the layout for running clearance trials, along with the small railcar and a bogie coach.

The Meaker coal wagon is an old Cambrian product I got for a couple of quid off a bring and buy. Bargain!

The whole trackwork area is going to have a mist coat added from the airbrush to blend in the colours.There are some odd spots where I was playing with the mig powders in case you're wondering.

The back of the platform will be longish grass and there's a fence to add behind the sheds. Beyond that will eventually be a range of small trees and general scrub.
