Denton Brook 7mm light industrial

The brook itself is in existence, at any rate



And wild-life starts arriving

 

To add to variety, i bought a Bedford TK artic (Hales Cakes - with a box trailer) on Ebay, this was to join the field of radio controlled vehicles first started seven years ago!
The body of the box trailer was discarded, but the chassis used, as I wanted a flat bed.
The unit is a little cramped to get everything in without invading the visible cab, but it is achievable.
The battery is situated under the trailer flatbed.

The TK is now fully complete aside from weathering. The trailer had its tie-downs and light board, and all is the correct colour, and the unit's roof was stripped of the white and sprayed blue.

 

The water is surprisingly simple. The water coming from the pipe is very simply a piece of clear plastic, heated and bent to shape, then with 90 second epoxy run down both sides with a cocktail stick to create the three dimensional effect. This was then put in place, and more epoxy used to 'flow' it into the stream itself

 

Funny you should say that! I took my HGV1 with a TK artic in Lincolnshire in early 1983... I hated the flipping thing (and all TKs) as at 6'4" I had to drive with my head tilted to one side as the cab was so low!

I can't remember if we had a twenty five foot trailer or a twenty seven foot.... this is a twenty seven foot job.

 

This is the burned out office mentioned above.

I laser cut it from 2mm MDF with 0.8mm ply windows. This has now been planted on Denton Brook to add balance.
