Monks Ferry: a layout for the Grandchildren.

[jonte]

Made another early start to move things on in respect if the station building.

Amongst other tasks, I began by gluing down strips of card on the layout to aid (accurate) positioning of plinth and building. The tower supports for the removable roof aren’t yet fixed as their orientation depends on the (best possible) positioning of the building on its plinth. I hope to start priming both sections of building later (removable rooves asist immensely here), while fitting in some soldering in respect of lighting whilst the sun shines (in between a spot of gardening).

In the meantime, here are a couple of shots of the building in situ and a second street level station:



Thanks for looking and your much appreciated ‘likes’ re my last post.

One set of lights prepared, thinking of placing two sets in each section:



Another crest appears on the latest ‘front’ section (seen with acid etch primer before receiving ordinary primer along with the rest):



This was the smallest crest I could get to fit inside the frame.

Cheers.

Looking good Jon, and that longer view gives a great impression of the whole scheme - very impressive!

Thanks for the welcome reassurance, John

Added a couple of coats of primer earlier to the build whilst managing to avoid the impending showers:



Then completed the remaining led interior lighting which I’ll fit using black-tac as per the signals at the next opportunity.

That’s it for today’s modelling session, unfortunately.

Many thanks, all for your continued interest and likes.
