more tree planting and sleeper staining at St Stephens
Track plan fixed down on Beattystone

 

Extra trees and bushes planted at Beattystone

 

Fixed the final piece of fascia this morning and gave it all a coat of chalk board black.
Then it’s on to the resin pour, I mixed up two batches the first with a green tint the second with a brown and poured it straight over the green. I had to tilt the board to get the resin to flow under the bridge and this blended the two colours together nicely. Once set I’ll add some mod Podge glossy to simulate ripples

 

Glossy mod Podge added and blow around to create ripples

 

I’ve also added Liquitex gel in parts and another coat of mod Podge glossy

Track laid and weathered today, whilst I await the final bits for Beattystone 66 I’ve made a start on Grimsby 23

 

Overgrown platform, the station has been closed for 6 years now but even when it was open it seldom seen many passengers at this remote Pennine out post.
