Been at it recently, new job in September has helped new levels of energy! Though didn’t expect to be taking that course at 59 years of age! Company being bought out led to that.
So after trains ran where to start.
I thought about raising the viaduct baseboard as the viaduct is too high! That will be done but not yet.
Detailing the viaduct track bulks and viaduct itself, but not yet.
Building the narrow gauge base along the back. No.
Went with the embankment and tunnel and dew pond!
Not sure dew ponds are a thing in Cornwall they are around here in Somerset!
Sorry for the dark photo.
Ballasted and foam painted ready for soil and static grass.
Paint looked a bit dark!
The grass base on the right went in favour of a more rock cutting look as per the photo on my backscene as inspiration. Which is Trelill tunnel the only tunnel on the NCR.
Tunnel portal out the packet. Soil base paint altered wet still to more Cornwall. Rock form foam added ready to carve.
Not so red without additional light.
Sleepers still to be cleaned and ballast coloured as per Mike Buick‘s methods. First wash on the portal stonework.
Hanging basket liner added on right as a base layer.
Cheers
Until next time.
