The Norwich & Mucklemouth Railway - Eastern Eccentricity in EM

[AJC]

All coming together nicely. Can I ask where you got the traction engine from?

Looks like the ABS Allchin which I think can still be had from KW Trams: KW Trams

EDIT - although, in all honestly it's hard to tell, a Burrell or a Garrett would probably be more area-appropriate!

The coal stage got painted

And has gained a coal pile

Although you can see the coal from the viewing side of the layout at least I know it's there!

The hut and water tower are also taking shape although they sill need some work

The cassettes which I haven't really featured yet had the track finished and the ballast laid at our AG meeting today.

At the village end of the layout the level crossing gates are on and nearly working fully. Also the final cottage from John has arrived although it has meant the trees at this end neef rearranging.

And finally the ripples have been added to the river with mod podge and a drinking straw.

Luckily they dry clear!

Let's hope for an equally productive week

Does that coaling stage need steps? Just thinking it’s a fair bit off the ground to clamber up.

It's actually a rowland miniatures one but no idea where I got it from.

It's technically a foster but the plan is to tweak it to a more local burrell machine

I've spent this evening painting the insides of the cattle vans to give them a wood interior that closer matches @Herb Garden's style. These will be left to dry and then I will go in with the white to lime wash them.

In the meantime I've started applying grey to the main body of one of the vans, but I'll save the photos of that until it's a bit further along!
