Pressure is now on to get this test plank finished

Wow, I can't believe it has been over 5 years since my last post on RMWeb. In the intervening years some very slow progress has been made but posts have not made here due to me not being sure of my ability and the value of sharing this test plank with the RMWeb community.

 

But I've recently had a huge reality check, I've been invite to show the layout at Lincoln Model Rail Show in February 2017... just over 5 months time. This opened up a few discussions with the boss and I'm now getting into the 'Man Cave' on a more regular basis. I'm also getting a little more confident of my abilities, so becoming confident about sharing with a wider audience. As a quick update I've posted the latest views of Tredethy Wharf from this evenings visit to the "Man Cave" are below.

For those RMWeb viewers that are interest in my progress during the last five years the following link http://grogleyjuncti.../Tredethy Wharf is to my Grogley Junction blog where I've intermittently posted a few entries on things relating to Tredethy Wharf.

Nothing like a deadline to get the juices flowing. Don't worry about what anyone else thinks. You clearly have the ability and it's definitely worth having another clay country layout on here!

It's looking very Hellandbridge-ish (and by that I mean nice). You just need a Beattie and a load of clay wagons!

Looking forward to seeing this 'on the circuit'.

Thank you for the vote of confidence Ullypug, I've long admired Wheal Elizabeth.

 

Clay wagons should not be a problem as I have 8 just about finished and some more under construction. Unfortunately the Beattie Well tank is one for the future. I'm hoping for the Lincoln show I'll have a couple of Class 08's available, otherwise I'll be using a couple of very un-Wenford 57xx panniers.

Seeing this shows you have nothing to worry about by posting here - it is looking great and I hope for some further updates within the next half decade!

Thank you Ben for taking the time to read and leave a comment on this entry. It is very much appreciated. Progress is slow but progress is being made. Currently I'm struggling with getting the correct finish on the hard standing around the sidings. Test piece perfect, when applied to layout it's totally wrong....hmmm, back to the drawing board.
