Long overdue for an update! Not much has been done since the previous post, however progress has taken place in the from of starting on the branch line which will run around the top of the layout, and the Sadleirs siding behind where the branch line comes off. A few photos...
 |
| Embankment on the branch side, grass and trees yet to go in. Polystyrene and 'no more gaps' provide the mountain look. |
 |
| Looking towards the mainline side, retaining walls made from MDF. Still some work to do. |
 |
| Sadleirs siding including shed now pretty much complete. Just some paint and lights to go in on the building, can then start on the scenery side of things. An old industrial asset will go in the right hand corner. |
A bit of work has been completed on the rollingstock front. First up, a project for a mate to repaint 4 Auscision VHQF hoppers from FA to PN, and add ends to the version they produced without them...
Steel coil cradles available off eBay coming along nicely...
Billet loads for Hawkmount Models RKKY wagons.
Unweathering a Eureka HUB set and repainting the roofs to closer match the prototype.
In terms of rollingstock arrivals there hasn't been much since the start of the year. PSM A2 and BCE were probably the best acquisitions, RKKY's from Hawkmount, SDS GY's, SRM Snail (or is that Vlocity?) and Auscisions latest rereun of the RY and E Cars. Oh, and picked up a Ben Singleton built XR with DCC for a good price!
Till next time!
