Work in progress May

Just a quick posed photo of Browside Ledge and train with some of the scenic work done.  We are waiting for some more scenic products to arrive so that we can continue with the greenery.  The waterfall was made using eight coats of gloss varnish with painted gravel rocks added .  We then used some off-white coloured wool pulled into smaller threads and soaked in p.v.a. to straighten them a bit.  Using more gloss varnish, we stuck them to the water runs.  At the base splash areas we used small bits of cut up wool to create foamy water.  When dry, we carefully dry-brushed all the threads with matt white enamel. 

The first building under construction for the layout is this small engine shed.  It is made mainly using Wills Corrugated Asbestos sheets.  I used some parts off a second-hand 00 scale engine shed for the windows, vents and flue.  The rest is made using various plasticard.
