Work on the "Works"

 A bit of work has been done on "Pye Rigg Works".  It will be a ramshackle group of buildings near a farm on the North York Moors where the 15" gauge stock are maintained for the Penny Howe and Peak Light Railway.

A low group of rocks made with cork bark and a mix of sawdust, p.v.a., acrylic paint and lightweight filler are added to the left hand scenic side.

Colouring with acrylic paints.

A modified 00 Dapol Water Tower, which has thicker and taller support columns, a new 7mm scale ladder, and larger inspection hatch.

Today I've been playing around with the arrangement of the buildings.  The rocks have received some greenery, the water tower has been painted.  A grounded van "storage shed" has been added along with a coal bunker and diesel oil tank from an old Hornby tank wagon.  The Invertrain resin kits have been painted, and the mdf maintenance shed made earlier in the year is on the right.
