I wasn't 100% happy with the backscene, so I changed it for the same backscene I have been using on the rest of the layout. I am much happier with the result. I also embedded the buildings and machines into the ground cover. I now want to add some weeds, piles of aggregate, paint the vehicles and add some workmen. After that, I need to add the lighting canopy and fascia and wire up the DCC. Jon
Three weeks to the layout's next exhibition (Hartlepool, England) and progress has been made. I've been working on the electrics, got the overhead lighting tube fitted and working, added the aggregate piles, repainted some ore cars, painted and fitted the end-scene and lighting fascia. Still lots to do, as the turnout motors still need fitting and wiring to switches, more freight cars need detailling and weathering, and there are 4 locos and three cabooses I want to get finished. Here's the progress Jon
I'm currently repainting, weathering and adding DCC/sound to these locos. The basic painting and lettering is about complete, but there's still lots to do Jon
I'm rather fond of the Southern's "tuxedo" scheme. Those Birmingham Southern units aren't bad, either. As usual, nice work.
