7mm Stroudley Park

Thank you Brian, it will have more character when it has been weathered sympathetically with the emphasis on sympathetic.

A quiet moment during shunting.

That’s the back scene installed, ahead of my imaginary schedule too. I’m waiting for a nice silver birch tree to arrive and will be located at the end of the terrace. Currently, there’s no back scene for the station end because space is so tight but will be included when Stroudley Park is exhibited.
The back scene is constructed from 4mm ply braced with 33 x 12mm pine. Before applying the photographic covering, the ply was sealed with paint to prevent warping. The reverse will be treated in due course.
That’s enough of this saga. The next step will be the fiddle yard/dairy board but don’t hold your breath!!

Regards,
Ian

As an addendum to the last post, the Silver Birch is in place. It’s amazing how quickly they grow.

I certainly feel happier about the visual appearance now. Maybe I’ll just play trains over Christmas.
Happy Christmas everyone

Ian
