Ian Blenk Posted March 19, 2022 Author Share Posted March 19, 2022 Now that work on Tynebank has paused, I have finally got around to building and undercoating some rolling stock, still heaps to do. Just as an aside, I love my High Level RSH so won't be buying the Dapol one, although it's introduction may slow down the plague of Pecketts which is sweeping the modelling world 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ianblenk Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 (edited) I promised myself that I would keep up to date with any progress on this rather forgotten outpost of RMweb. Busy with the path down from the mortuary to track level. I have had to make a few changes to the position of the buildings to get everything where they looked best. I'm always prepared to sacrifice reality for effect. Next big project is a non-existent sheep bridge to act as a scenic break on the Kirkhouse end. In truth in future builds (if there are any) I don't think I would ever go for an actual place again, too restrictive!

ianblenk Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 Eventually a building finished, in truth I am finding it increasingly difficult to physically do any modelling. Also I wonder if I should move this thread to 'Layout Progress as these snaps aren't really 'industrial' Any way on with the sheep bridge, then the scenics. Just a question, has any one out there used a static grass applicator and has a pacemaker fitted? The results could be interesting. 14 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ianblenk Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 General view of the main buildings. I am so pleased to get these out the way, I hope the scenic side will be completed for Workington Show in Nov. Having said that I still have to build those wagon kits and finish 'Tindale' Hmm, maybe not this November! 14 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianblenk Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 (edited) Yay! I've managed to get some work done. The xing keepers cottage should finish soon. I used Doll's House carpet for the lawn. The B4 in the shed is a space filler. There is a chance that it will finish for Workington in Nov. Not many fiddly bits left to do.
