Station building again (2)

I sprayed the station building with the same Citadel paint...

and then touched up the window frames, pipework and other details

Thanks for looking

Simon

Fan window update

I have used a Citadel Colour Zandri Dust spray can for a base 'stone' colour for the wall.  It was applied without primer and it covered the white details spot on - I can definitely recommend this paint!

The first of a few updates...

A few weeks ago (before I brought the station board home) I fitted the brick Platform 1 edging. The edging on Platform 2 is stone with a couple of rows of bricks and currently still need fitting

Thanks

Curious where you got the ladders and walkways from?

Hi Tex

They are included in MS Models Fuel Point Kit.  More details are on the page 5 of this thread, the posts dated October 28th 2022 onward

I hope this helps

Thank you for sharing the progress on Buxton looks great and pleased you have managed to get things underway again, I’m building a layout loosely based on the same area. I’ve recently purchased the fuelling station from MS models, a nice kit again thank you for sharing. Can I ask did you spray with primer before painting? Thanks Andy. 

Hi Andy.  I honestly can't remember if I primed it but I would expect that to be the case

Cheers

Simon

A New Hope

On 2nd January, Buxton was set up for a running session. Here are a few pics taken during the evening...Most of my stock is on the layout along with a few bits of friends stock that were stretching their legs (or wheels?)...

The sidings in front of the shed look busy

A class 37 hauled Railtour has just arrived

Thanks for looking

I meant to say that I do still have Buxton, but it is stored away from the house for a time when I have the space work on it.

Cheers

Simon

An update - at last

Sorry for the lack of updates.  I had been waiting until the weather warmed up so I could restart working on it, but...

Buxton has been put into storage after the landlord at our old address told us he had sold the house and gave us two months to vacate.  We found a property with two weeks to go but, unfortunately, there is no garage so I currently have no room to work on (or store) Buxton at the new place.

Thanks for the support over the years and if things change, I will post an update.  (I might just have room to do something with the N Gauge RhB stock I have)

Hi Rich

Just finished viewing your thread from start to finish.  I must say it was nice to see that all of the pictures have been restored - I am constantly looking for reference only to find the pictures missing

I was particularly impressed with the DMU modifying and lighting posts as this is something I am currently having a go at myself (my very first attempt at a DMU conversion)

Keep up the good work

Thanks

Simon

It probably means there will be another price increase before they are released then 😢

I really enjoyed the show and operating the extended Drabford.  I was impressed by how much extra operation could now be done. Well worth the effort Shaun 👍🏻
