Here's a few pictures of the Gantry now with working signal heads.
I think you will agree Jon is doing a fantastic job.

Got a bit of black paint on it now. Getting the silver paint on the legs will probably get a bit messy and involve quite a bit of masking tape.

Bumper day today,

Silver going on the gantry at Jon's work shop.

I've painted up the other side of the turntable.

The first Ragstone GWR buffer stop is in & the PVA talc mixture is down.

Jon has finished the Gantry. Doesn't it look magnificent

Completed buffer stop, the red rust isn't as prominent in the flesh it must be the settings in the camera.

Back home from a weekend playing trains at Leamington, whilst there Pete gave the turntable a quick blast of dirt.
It's about time I invested in a new air brush

Whilst at Leamington I gave the front canopy a coat of paint

The last of the main line sleepers have been laid on the main lines. There's a few more around the turn table but that's it !! Well until the extension is built.
Big thanks to Rob & the Bristol Gang for their help on the PWay
Merry Christmas all
Steve
See you at Bristol in January

The next loco kit for RB is here in the shape of a Scorpio 97xx condensing pannier. I'm still gathering together some nice replacement castings to tart it up.

The first coach had arrived! I've been wanting to build up a collection of coaching stock for the ECS trains to shuttle back and forth and for my main line micros projects.
I would like to add a few more ex midland coaches to go with this including a porthole a period 1 and period 2.
