Ok, maybe not so slight!
The Somerleyton project is still on the cards but more research is needed into the structure of the bridge and box, so a site visit is planed for later in the year.
In the meantime, some experimentation with the 2mm Scale Association Easitrac has led to another small project, this time a fictional stretch of Midland Mainline. With the forthcoming Meridian from Farish and new HST from Dapol, the Midland Mainline will be easy to model from a stock point of view!
After using Easitrac, I don't think I'll ever go back to Peco again. The latest Farish & Dapol stock runs without a problem and the appearance is a world apart.
I've also been trying out a few different products for producing trees, with those in the photos above being made from seamoss with a mix of the supplied Anita Decor foliage and Noch leaves. I'm quite pleased with the results, although the Noch leaves are perhaps a little on the large side.
I'll try and get some better pics as things progress but here are a couple to start with:
