Its been a while - but I had a week away and so it seemed, did RMWeb, anyway there has still been some slight progress.
The focus has had to revert to the area between the over-bridge just beyond Churminster Quarry round past Churminster shed, station and goods shed, Wadleys Brewery and the Southdown bus garage, as I have rashly agreed to allow this area to be photographed before the end of the month.
I'm sure that I will never regard it as finished but I'd prefer it to be in as good a state as I can make it - the camera is sure to show up all of the defects!
Having spent many hours looking the wonderful Little Muddle thread, I realised that I had a serious deficiency in the shrubbery department, so I have started by installing further trees to the "grassy knoll" opposite the brewery.
It would probably now benefit from some undergrowth but whether I shall have time for that, I doubt! Nevertheless I think it is an improvement.
I have also spent some time titivating the goods yard, but it is certainly not complete
The siding that runs into the brewery can now be better seen
The small crane on the goods shed dock is now servo operated; it turns through 90 degrees from the platform over a flat bed truck and will have a container suspended from it.
I took the view that swinging the container over the tracks was just asking for trouble!
I am now having fun fitting shackles & chains to the container; painting of the crane is not quite complete.
I will aim to post a further update soon.
