Model Railways
June 2016
There are little changes throughout the month as can be seen with this set of photographs, but you may have to look closely to see them.
I couldn't find a ready made or kit suitable for the village car repairs workshop, so in the interim I have made one. I will keep looking and hopefully I will find one.
The shelters on the station platform are station yard huts, made from kits. I picked up a set in mistake for a coal office and rather than take them back I built them without the fronts, added a base and some benches to use on the platform.
The walls around the garage have been painted white to represent a rough cement finish.
In this picture I have removed all the greenery from the hill to the right to make changes to it.
I am preparing it for a lock keeper's cottage.
You may have noticed that cottage was originally to the left front of the layout, I was going to use it as a country cottage, again if I find a better 'lock keeper's cottage I will replace it and put it back.
It is overhanging the edge but when the extension is added along the front for the canal it will be fine and this where the lock will be.
I have added two sheds to the layout, one of them as you will notice is in the corner of the church yard by the trees.
In this shot you can see where the cottage has been taken from the front left and moved to its new position on the right.
As you may have noticed posters have been added to the side of the shop, the station booking office and wall.
There was a pond at the front left of the layout where I have moved the cottage from, you can see a dark patch by the curved track. I will be adding another cottage or farm house later on when I decide what I am going to do in this corner.
If you look closely you will see the other shed in the back yard of the shop.
Unfortunately adding the canal and lock has hit a snag and I am not sure when I will be able to add it, hopefully it won't be long.
This set of photographs and video is up to date as at 30/06/2016.
