Kadee fitted HAA's with sprung buffers look excellent when close coupled (yes I know I need some real coal loads !):
I am not normally one to frequent the kitchen so Mrs G was a little surprised when I came home with one of these !
So why would I want a Turkey Baster ? Well, it appears to be an excellent way of applying PVA/Water mix to ballast. Only cost a few pounds and allows a very controlled flow of PVA/Water mix.
Started some ballast work Rails toned down with lick of sleeper grime. Sidings ballasted with Javis Brown mixed with some assorted scatter.
Today work started on making a backsecene. Basically, some 6mm MDF cut into strips..... Grey primer spray, various washes of blue emulsion tester pots, some grey, some flat white and finally matt sealer. Much of this will be hidden by buildings and the lanscape anyway.
(The neighbours must think I've gone mad !)
Once dry it was back inside to install the backscene and continue tidying up some ballast work around the stabling sidings and depot area. Still got to pefect the weathering but getting there.
