I think I  recognise that building, is it the flour mill. If it is ikit bashed for the Dairy on Wencombe many moons ago.

The middle section lifts out when I'm playing trains.

A couple of buildings mocked to act as view blockers

And a platelayers hut made but unpainted

First lot of fencing done.

The jig you see in the photo above is for 13 posts. The lines you see are where the wires go. at the end of the jig there is a notch where the wires are. Your chosen material is notched at one end and run to the other end and notched. When all the wires are in place the posts are threaded anderneath the wires and fixed with a spot of superglue here each wire crosses the post.

unfortunately no photos of that process but a not very good one of the first fence in place.

Ah Soudley.

Posts for the lineside fencing cut and painted

And part of the jig on which they will be strung

Perhaps you should have gone for the 0 GAUGE class 15 from EFE Bachman. whoops should I have mentioned O gauge.

Thanks Julian. An evocative shot, and it is sort of what I'm after.

A bit more one, nothing has been stuck down, still playing with ideas, eg the open fields on the backscen my be given an other wash of green to slightly adrken it. The sides offf the sector plate have been cut down but not comletely removed, and a private road put in.

But as I said it could change.

A shot I took some 15 years ago on the FDR of 9681 at Norchard

Surely that first one (Italian inside Caprotti)should be in the ugly locomotive thread.

Problem solved with the purchase of a multitool.

and with sector plate at full swing

 A lovely phot o.

I was feeling pretty good when I had erected the end board --------------------------------until I realised that two of the spacers that need to be below baseboard height were sitting proud, thus stopping the sector plate from swinging. the very reason they were put in was to allow the sector plate to swing.

I think I have worked out a way of solving the problem without having to to take the whole thing down. I'll report if I was successful tomorrow.

Work progresses on the backboards for the backscene. The back panel in place. Note the spacers to allow sector plate to swing and a small amount of 3D scenery.

Started on the end board sapacers being glued onto panel.

Goodness Rob, when you start, you don't stop.

Thank you Paul.
