    Cheers Gary I should point out that the corrugated steps are glued on to heavy card and still need weathering.

    Fantastic Ian you are taking huge strides now with large parts of the build coming together very quickly.

    Terrific stuff.

    Never thought of it that way Ian ....... But you have a point. They may be upside down but they have their brains well strapped in. Always one step ahead. :scratchchin: worth the watching I'd say.

    However I think that you have blown your cover by showing the levels of dilapidation that you are planning. Hard not too but it only serves to set the bar.

    Too many others playing the cards close to their chests. Keep a couple of aces up your sleeve. :avatar: of course you also benefit in a way because part of the criteria is based on the way that the build is documented via posts during the life of the build. You may just have the edge there.

    I bet that some may have forgotten about that. Do I sense a flurry of progress posts coming on :avatar:

    Keep it coming

    Visitors departed this morning (Thursday) so modelling resumes when the shakes wear off ... decision made to extend the 100cm board at the station end by around 5 to 10 cm to include a road bridge giving the suggested scenic break. It will possibly be set at an angle to give a piece of waste land after the coal drop ... maybe ... possibly ... who knows ... it might include a fox nest ...
