    Last week I had a little building session.
    Built a Dapol garage for the start of the town scene...
    Still got to make an interior for it.
    The packaging does apoligies for the quality of the 50 years+ moulding machines. Many warped parts to straighten.

    Been really quite on here recently, still plugging away on the layout however there isn't much I can show as it has been point motors and building the landscape whilst trying to plan the look i'm going for.....

    Nice depth of field. Love the road heading towards the bridge.

    Thanks guys.
    What I didn't notice was the backscene to the left is Summer and the right is Autumn...

    The windows are from Scale model scenery and included the brick arch lintels and sills.

    Been doing lots of bits n bobs on the layout, mostly unseen bits...
    Yesterday I painted the Westinghouse ponit motors based upon images from the web.

    A trip to Gaugemaster while my Son had a Uni interview releived me of some money.
    Painting the parts of a Wills Barn prior to assembly.

    Very effective.

    My son never picked a Uni with a model shop anywhere near it - I feel abused :avatar:

    A quick video from Overtoun this morning. As you can tell this area is very much a construction zone!
