My son has done 2 test prints of the end of one of the viaduct piers.  The blue one is with a 0.2mm nozzle, the other is 0.4mm.  The 0.2 looks better but I’m reserving final judgment until I’ve painted them.

 

Yesterday I had a day out at the NRM archives.  I had reserved several rolls of drawings from Swindon C&W. I had a successful day looking at drawings of GWR Crocodiles loaded with buoys from the factory at Pontypridd that would have travelled via Penrhos, drawings of the wagons themselves and drawings of the coaches built by the GWR specifically for the Cardiff valleys.  

 

Whilst having lunch I saw this signal post.  The somersault arms could easily have been from the valleys.   Does the finial tell someone what line this was from?  I’m puzzled by the arrangement of the counterweights.  Why are there 3?  

Now following your progress 👍👍

Had lots of kind pm”s asking about the scratch build towers,and more pictures of them throughout this new layout build at Merseyside model railway society..
