RSS Fetcher Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 I decided I had to do something about the top left, or north west corner of the layout. Once I get this part finished I can then complete the trackwork for the service yards. To this end I carried on from where I left off before. I had got as far as plastering the area and applying a coat of paint to seal it. Next I used the grassmaster on it to get it to look like this. Some small bushes and plants and finally trees. Next step was ballasting the track on the raised shuttle line. I added a bit of pavement at the base of where the retaining walls will sit. Then added the retaining walls to continue on from the previous installation. I then put in paving for this side of the road. Once this was done I then definitely knew how much space I had for maintenance yards. I then installed more points and track to get this. A view from a different angle. This is where the station building will sit. Sort of an aerial view to show how it all sits plan wise on the western side of the layout. On the other side I added a further point to conclude my track laying for this side of the layout. Down this side I also added some new baseboards to build up this end. I need to get a further backdrop for this end before going wild with more buildings. I had my eye on the Faller Nuremberg fire station but availability and cost are issues. I could make something I suppose. Plenty of time to think further about what I'm going to put in here later though. I have lots of tidying up to do now. Here's some shots of the layout to give an overview of where I'm up to. View the full article Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
