RMweb Gold NHY 581 Posted April 15, 2022 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted April 15, 2022 Thanks Chris, Kevin. There's still a lot to do. Trying to finish the green stuff this weekend and hopefully I can pop it under the layout lighting for the first time by Monday. Then we'll really see how it all looks......... 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrWolf Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 Looking really good Rob. It's definitely got that run down atmosphere now. Almost makes me wish the weedkiller trains weren't so frequent on the Great Western. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold JustinDean Posted April 15, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 15, 2022 The combination of ash ballast and grass looks great. I notice you’ve still got those reeds to sort out though Rob! Jay 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will be some things which I simply cannot do in the next nine days actually seven discounting what's left of today and the day of the show... Take out of that two days in work plus Easter duties and it's not looking very good at all.......oh and the show itself to keep an eye on. That reminds me, I need to rejig the floor plan Rob. 1 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m kidding mate, the layout looks great regardless. You’ve got a lot going on over the next week by the sounds of it. Anything you can delegate? Happy to help you out if there’s anything I’m able to do. Jay 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's kind of you but what gets done, gets done. What doesn't etc etc....... Anyhow, I'm rubbish at delegating.. You can always operate for a bit at the show..........

They could stick out like a dogs whatsists but the grass hides them to a certain extent. When I painted the track, they were done at the same time. The red oxide finish also helps and in thd future, they might well get some weathering but for now they'll do. Today, the scenic treatment continues........

RMweb Gold Popular Post NHY 581 Posted April 17, 2022 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted April 17, 2022 Well that's been a fairly productive day. Layout wired. NCE gubbins installed. Fiddle yard bodged into place........ Track cleaned.....and cleaned....and cleaned.... Test run. More track cleaning.. More test running. Not too bad now but still room for improvement. But much better than when I started. Hoovered up errant static grass......several times. Tomorrow may well see the lighting added for the first time to see what the layout will actually look like on Sunday. And dare I say it but that is just about it for now. I can turn my attention to some stock, namely the weathering of a couple of locos. Rob. 13 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Graham T Posted April 17, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 17, 2022 That certainly was a productive day. I know what you mean about the static grass; it's similar to how sand keeps showing up everywhere weeks after a visit to the beach... 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
