A Little Update

This is just a basic update to let one and know I am still working on the layout.
At the moment there is more than one thing on the go.
Started to paint the platform faces, the goods siding one can be seen in one of the pics below. Assembled the Station building, so that I could complete some of the platform and road foundations, and have continued on with this foundation work. (Painting plaform faces is a loooong and tedious job)


In this overall shot you can see the station and Goods Shed in place.

Just behind the station is a sheet of card which is the base sheet for the roadway. further layers will help form the fall of the road to the gutter at the front of the station.

I'm using mdf for the main grid work to support the roads and paths. The card at different thicknesses with help form the contours as required.






In this image the painted section (not completed) of the back of the station platform can be seen as well as the formwork for the loading bank and roadway accessing Tuckers Maltsters.

All the formwork, for example the loading bank are seperate pieces at the moment, so that they are easy to handle to work on. The section of roadway with the card on it, is also seperate to the section around the station building which is seperate again to the platform.

Once I am at the final stages it can all be assembled together and glued.

Until the next update!
