  1. Guttering now complete on all buildings and a coat of paint applied, it will all need doing again before I can finally fix the buildings in place. Shed roof complete including vents and lead flashing, barge boards on and painted. We are very much on the home stretch now. ModelU chimneys on the office building as well.
  2. Fencing and hedge rows to complete, plus an ATC ramp by the Distant signal
  3. The new show display is complete and ready for its first outing, I can conveniently store Grimsby underneath as I’m delivering it the same weekend. I’ll leave the plant at home
  4. Grimsby on the water & the new little show display almost complete
  5. A close up of the speed restriction post. A copy of one that was at Dainton bank.
  6. The last of the signalling now in place, you can just make out the white painted sighting panel on Teignton lane bridge
  7. The Torcombe branch from the back of the layout nicely framed by a pair of Scots pines. I’ve made up a small retaining wall as the signal post was close to embankment edge.
  8. More scenic work today including more tree planting and grass layering.
  9. The Cornish Riviera drifts towards Paddington at Westbourne bridge. Picture copyright Chris Nevard / Model Rail See the full article out today in Model Rails great British Model Railways Bookazine.
  10. Arriving this morning only a week after ordering are the footbridge steps for Canton from York model making. Laser cut out of styrene and assembled in 10 minutes with EMA. The little building underneath is from Railway Laser Lines and is actually based on a building that was at Canton. It’s not 💯 for this location but it’s fits just right. No painting today as it’s ☔️ again !
  11. Pontycwm looking like a beach, the new flexi track from C&L is a nice upgrade over the old
  12. As above really I’m looking for information on what coaches were used on these services. either trains starting in London or cross country services that had sleeping cars in the train.
  13. Made up this little kit from railway laser lines today, it will live under the footbridge steps which are on order from York model makers
  14. The show display is moving along nicely, the magazine prints will be framed and a totem added below the book shelf. I’ve also been adding some dress timber around Pontycwm but the inevitable rains made a return so that lot was put in the cupboard for another day
  15. Side boards made up for the new show display and the low relief shed in place.
  16. The up goods exits Combe end tunnel on the Torcombe branch
  17. The last part of the signalling is complete at Messers Jon Fitness and Co for St Stephens bank, again inspired by Dainton bank it will live by the signal box.
