Joining Boards, and new Locos

I had a chance today to join the two boards together for a while to make sure they match.  The join needs a little cleaning-up and attention to colouring, especially by the engine shed before I am happy.

Above is a full width view to get the final effect.  

I am making a couple more lamps for the village board, but have also started two new locomotives....

"Pyralis" and "Alerion" are currently in the paint shop.  They are two old Avalon Line resin tram loco kits which will run on Farish 0-6-0 chassis.  They are basic kits but fit together nicely, and some details have to be added, so I have tried to add some controls in the cab: hand brake, reversing lever, throttle water glasses, piping, etc. and also handrails.  They also need brass bells and some good drivers to complete.

Progress on the Village board

 

More features on the board have now been laid out and fixed.  Above we see most of the village buildings, a War Memorial, and Post Box scene, complete with the first vehicle, a Morris 1000 Royal Mail van.

"Satyr" is posed on the goods siding.

"Oread" at the station with an early morning train.  Some figures are now being painted to go on the platform and around the village.

A view down the station loop and street beyond now with a wall at the edge of railway property.

"Orthus" about to cross the road into the station.

The War Memorial is by Langley Models and the 3D printed Post Box and Postman is by Smart Models.

Some Omen figures just about finished.

Wagon loads and assorted goods now painted.  Most are by Skytrex.
