Poor Workmanship and Cabbage don’t mix!

The realisation that this model is expected at an exhibition in September has helped focus the minds a little. We wind up the pace and crack on working on two fronts; track laying and back scene construction.

Track laying is going well, the observant may notice that the points now leaving the existing dock scene have changed again. The “Y” point is giving much improved curve further down the line.


Once the track was cut and joined we even remembered to mark and drill the holes for the point motors, moving the track out the way first!

Whilst all this was going on some fine woodwork was taking place to create the basis for the back scene. The jaunty angles provided some interesting challenges to the bodgers with the jig saw, but eventually we had something worthy of screwing in place.


A squirt of filler and a slap of paint and no one will ever notice the gaps...
