My backscene, if you can call it that? Was just some blue painted board. I tried a few times to improve it, but I'm not much of an artist, so was never happy with my work.

 

I fianlly caved and bought some of the ID Backscene trees. It's the self sticky version, little more expensive, but I have to say, nice to work with. As you pull off the backing, you can slowly stick it to the backboard. I could even remove and re-stick, when I got it a little wrong. :)

 

so the goods now passing the farm with a new background of trees..

It was of of those things that was holding me back, as I couldn't decide what to do! We can now progress the scenery some more..

Had a fun few days on the railway..

 

I spent some time stripping the dairy building, with plan to re wrap the brick work.. Covered in clips at the moment 😀

Started cleaning the track around the ballasted area this morning, I feel like some running could be the order of the day..

 

But whenever I do, I start to think I should spend the time working on the layout instead.....

Anyone ever hot glued their finger? Oh, yes, that hurts! 

 

Anyway, no pain no gain... A little more progress on the dairy corner..

More progress on the dairy. I've pretty much finished the brick work. The front building gained guttering and even a drain that you can't see!

My father and I went to it when it was held at the motor museum at Gaydon - the combined entry fee for the museum and the exhibition was less than the normal entry fee for the museum!

 

Somewhat bizarrely, going round the museum we came across a rebuilt garage that had originally been just round the corner from my parents' bungalow in Pembrokeshire!

The stadium is certainly an odd location. It was a little cold first thing, and the making tracks team were having issues with their layout..

 

Good day though.

Added a new fish van, actually, next to my kit, both look very smart..
