Good morning ,
in some of the last photo's you may have noticed that I poured a plaster base around the
loading shed.
Well I have now scribed lines into it to represent separate concrete blocks.
Then I applied a thin coat of grey.
This is the result.

Still needs some weathering, oil spills and weeds.
Two closer photos.

WOW  :eek: Jörg.......

That is looking fantastic !!!!!!
Just a question, I assume a loco will always reverse the wagons in that siding there?

Cheers, Evert :biggrin:

Yes, I even removed the center studs from that piece of track.
If you look closely at the one photo you will see that the center stud reaches up to
the "concrete".

Did a bit more last night.
Placed some ground cover behind the shed.
I want to try and have some weeds around the building so I started with
ground cover, but currently I'm not quite sure if this is the right way.
Will see how it develops further.
Gave the "concrete" a black wash last night.
This is what it looks like now.

Aloha,
been spending some time on working out the catenary masts.
Especially over the double crossover.

Hi all,
did some research about catenary over crossover's and have now been placing
masts.
Must still work out the best distance between the main mast to the tension mast.

Hi all,

I finally got my last few Auhagen Cobblestone sheets.
So what else is there to do, but to get to work.
Platforms are done.
 :thumb:
Now the only section left is at the Station Building which still needs to be built.

Hi all,

yesterday I fitted the first few platform lights.
More are on their way, if the parcel ever arrives.  ::)
I also placed a few benches just for fun.
