Although unfinished, the most hated task (wet ballasting) is complete, tomorrow afternoon, when it is set really hard, the excess will be removed. As soon as I am happy with the ballast, laying the grass is next; two lengths, neat/tidy inside the compound (fire hazard) and not so neat outside. Today, I was collecting gravel from the garden centre car park so that the depot SNCO can gaze out at whitewashed stones beside his path.
The puzzle didn’t work out as planned, the quoted lengths were somewhat ambitious, the headshunt just holds a Ruston+three 14t tanks, however operating is a hoot. It should be popular with both military and railway modellers.
