Thanks John much appreciated

A little bit done yesterday, the road bed has been drawn and cut out, this will be built up with the actual road and pavements etc

I also plonked the brickwork roughly into position just to see how it might look.

Couple of hours today so measured up where the bridge will go on the board and took a better look at the weathered track, the oil seems to of not disappeared once sealed which is good

I then cracked on with more brickwork. Doesn’t seem like I’ve done much but it was great to finally get some modelling done.

After studying photos of the bridge, for literally years, I noticed a few things I hadn’t realised before, so having a spare hour after work I went about correcting it, I’ve also glued on the first beam and made a start of the pavements.

A bit more done on the pavement last night but really want to crack on with the track, just need to make four pairs of point blades, but just lack of time is becoming rather frustrating. I was hoping I’d have a few hours Thursday but the schools on strike so that is now written off so I’m hoping Friday might see some progress. The ground position signal is in production so hopefully that will arrive soon so once the track is complete and wired up I can get that fitted.

More on the roadway done yesterday so put it all loosely together today just to give an idea of how it will look. The strip of plastic in the middle of the roadbed will run the entire length as this will give the road its camber.








Since returning to EM I do regret not persisting with it the first time around, but I’ve learnt a lot since my first efforts so hopefully it’ll be better.

Some fantastic modelling going on here keep it coming the feel of total neglect is very evident

Thanks very much mate, hopefully I’ll get going on the track again soon, I did a bit of work on the road last night but I think I might redo the road she pavement with foamex, it’s just better to work with abd it’s only an hour or two lost on what I’ve done so far but I think it’ll be better in the long run.

Many thanks again

Tiny bit of progress on the bridge



But that’s mostly due to the new arrival to the family


Hopefully some modelling time tomorrow

You'll find that you have a new 'Boss' now Paul - thought I'd show you who runs our place now and you'll see what I mean:



She was re-homed by us after her owner passed away. Enjoy your new feline friend,

Roger .

We don’t have any of our own but these 2 (you have to look hard) are often “round ours” checking up on us, and often frequent the NGR trackbed. NotWilbur on the tracks is of unknown provenance, he comes and goes, where to, no one knows, but Doris (hidden) is next door’s but thinks it’s all one house.

We already had one cat but he’s never in and a dog, the cat us actually bigger than the dog but the mrs and little one has wanted a kitten for ages, it’s proper cute though just wants cuddles.

[PjKing1]

So in between kitten entertaining I’ve actually got something done, I’ve made the four pair of point blades and threaded the chairs on two if the pairs, I’ve also took a few pics of the ballast in the sun

Managed an hour on the bridge today and posed some vehicles on just to give an idea of how it’ll look

I agree with John. Particularly like the tarmac effect.... Is that the final finish?
