Thanks Andy,
Well I`ll just leave it as is and not worry too much about it.
There is always the convenient history avenue to go down if I have to justify it to anyone....

G`day Folks,
Today I got the fencing done for the Aircraft Fuel Depot
I`ve used the same method that I`ve used before......wire mesh with fly screen wire added to simulate chain wire fencing.



The wire was given a base coat of Silver.



The fences were then weathered with acrylics and chalk pastels......all brushed on



The longest length was set in first so that I could set the depot off it correctly for gate spacing.



The fencing was then added to the back edge of the depot
The gate swings open manually and is kept latched by means of a magnet on the long fence.









There is a post set in the bushes just under the end of the open gate. The post has a magnet on top of it and helps keep the gate in position when it is open.




A bit of light weathering was done on the tanks and pipes and then the depot was set into place permanently and we now wait for the glue to set.



I will do some more weathering and also probably add some warning signs on the fences and gate as well.
So that is pretty much job done apart from some minor details.

Yeah it`s getting there Gary,
We`ll see how it goes tomorrow with it`s first running session with my Grandson at the controls.
The plan is , as you suggested, drop off full tankers and pick up empties on the way up to Bamford.
The return run from Bamford back to Great Chesterford Junction will simply pass through Little Bardfield as no stop required.
There is an opportunity here to have a passenger service waiting at Little Bardfield platform whilst the return goods passes in the loop.
Once the goods has passed, the passenger service can continue onto Bamford.
That should keep the operators on their toes......
Sounds like a plan...
