    Little Wollastonblue, wanted to do some more work on the layout last night. So we set about the piece of foamboard the castle is going to site on, for the left hand box. So after one of Mrs Wollastonblues wonderful dinners, we broke out the scatter, trees, etc. and created a pathway to the castle, laid down some forest floor,and planted some trees. More Photos of the progress: As I'm pub quizzing tonight, we're aiming to get this bit finished by the weekend, so we can crack on with getting the full track laid, tested so we can play run some trains. Cheers for now.

    Thank you to Dave John for the advice, and the bulldozers went in a cleared a lot of plaster, wire and paper, and I have rearranged the buildings so that i can fit my Hotel and Pool in the left hand board, meaning I can fit some more on the right hand board. I also think that I might build a wall around the castle now. The helix covers have been fashioned from Foamboard, and I am working on how to install the tunnel mouths and other mountain faces. I have also discovered the scrunched foil is better than scrunched newspaper for setting plaster cloth to. I have got the lower mountain face done, awaiting painting. In the middle box some more foliage and trees have been planted along with a good covering of tinted EZ water. i want to have a go at the water effects next, and install a small waterfall, to the right. I will try and get some close up photos as the work progresses. The left hand box: The centre box:

    I used APA style boxes for my layout: They're available on ebay: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/WOODEN-TOY-STORAGE-UNIT-BOX-CHILDRENS-KIDS-TOYS-CHEST-UNPAINTED-PERSONALISATION-/161969839530?var=&epid=1855584464&hash=item25b6279daa:m:mbVc5MYVxiUUweynv46e1VQ I've used 3 on my Swiss layout, and will use 3 on my planned American HO, as I can store them in the spare wardrobe when not in use.

    The Range in Kiddy had none last weekend. Might have to nip down tomorrow now. I could do with another piece of foamboard anyway.

    How about a Pendelino with the footbridge at Birmingham International:

    It begins. I have cut a piece of foamboard 20cm x 20cm, and added a 15cm backckboard. I've started to build up the quay, but I have run out of time for now, and will add some more so that it comes up to 4cm high. Photos of the progress so far:

    I didn't think I had any, but I think these will suffice: Northern Belle at Kidderminster SVR waiting for a 57 to take them away. Taken in June 2015 on the RHDR, little Wollastonblue wondering where daddy is.

    Baby Polar Bear walks up to his mom as says "Mom, am I really a Polar Bear?" "Of course you are." Mommy Polar Bear replies. "Are you sure I'm not a Grizzly bear or a Brown Bear?" "Of course you're a Polar Bear son, now go an see your dad." Off baby Polar Bear goes to find his dad. "Dad, am I really a Polar Bear?" asks Baby Polar Bear. "Of course you are son." Daddy Polar Bear replies. "Are you sure I'm not a Black Bear or a Honey Bear?" "You're definitely a Polar Bear son. Why are you asking?" "'Cus I bloody freezing!"

    I've got some Polystryene Sheets that should do the job. I think I know what I need to do now. Thank you for your advise Dave.

    OK so as things have started to progress, I have realised that I have made 2 massive mistakes: I tried the loco is both directions the weekend, and it got stuck in the tunnel, which in my opinion is probably down to dirty track. I have built a plaster and wire structure to go over this helix and it's too big. So which leads me to ask for advise. I need the 2 helices covered in order for scenery and to give the impression of the helix style tunnels that are on the RhB, but also due to the tight radius of the curves, give me access to clean the track and get to any possible derailments. What would others do in my situation? Do I build it out of hardboard, and the plaster the relevant scenery required or its there something else I can do? Thank you in advance for any help or advice.

    I've drawn up a shopping list, and my other aim to to keep the total cost below £50. Also, going to complete do this during my lunch breaks at work, as Mrs Wollastonblue will nag me "You haven't finished you current layout, why are you starting another one?", and this is the real issue it will help me give up smoking! Time to organise a small tool kit for work now.
