Tunnel Mouths etc.
The tunnel entrance under the upper station.
I have made one or two walls and tunnel mouths for "Shortwaite Hill" this week.
Built usually with Wills Coarse Stone sheets, I have added capping stones from thick plasticard. The above tunnel entrance has a girder support, and Ratio Double Rail Stanchions added between the pillars. The stonework is painted with a mix of Humbrol matt 121 and 29, then after 48 hours drying time, thinned Humbrol 28 is washed over to collect in the mortar joints, and also thinned Humbrol 75 used for the mossy corners and damp mortar and stones, this is all rubbed off the stones with a lightly turps-soaked rag, to leave the mortar lines in the joints. Dry-brushed matt 80 is also used for more moss effects.
Left-hand tunnel mouth made with sanded Wills Coarse Stone and also uses Peco N gauge wing walls from an NB33 kit. It is the entrance to the hidden gradient.
Right-hand tunnel mouth made with sanded Wills Coarse stone and also uses Peco N gauge wing walls from an NB33 kit. The upper bridge, which spans the line running under the village is a modified NB33 Bridge Side.
This structure is going to be the bottom of the lane which passes cottages.
A stone wall which borders the railway line on it's scenic ascent. The track at right angles will be inside a goods shed, accessed by a wagon turntable.
