There was a messy and redundant siding next to the coal drops but the plan now is to join it to the loop that bypasses the station to allow direct access between the goods yard and engine shed areas.

Time for a change and a little modelling on the layout.

Made some good progress yesterday. Track laid, ballasted and some weathered blending done. I have to add some grass clumps but need to make some more as my stash seems to have disappeared from it's hiding place. I also have to wire up the point motor.
Unfortunately my arthritis got yhe better of me this morning, causing me to drop my phone whole taking these pictures- it seems I now have a length of fence to replace (and a phone screen).

I'm not going to be able to fit a Hornby sound decoder in this one, so I'll need to save my pennies for a 'full fat' decoder at some point.

Re: WEST ORTON
Hard to believe but I've not printed or painted any figures for six months - my fingers are now explaining why. Thank God for codeine.

Lovely canoes, I’ve not got round to painting figures yet, but with my bunch of banana’s, hmmm

Re: WEST ORTON
Great pictures - it's these little diorama's that make a layout - the trainspotters taking photographs is a super picture - are they Modelu figures?. It also reminds me that I have about a hundred figures to paint.
Re: WEST ORTON
Yes Barry, all Modelu via the Patreon scheme. Did you spot the spotters have different makes of camera? I should have painted one with a beard to represent PP.bulleidboy wrote: ↑Fri Jun 06, 2025 10:23 am Great pictures - it's these little diorama's that make a layout - the trainspotters taking photographs is a super picture - are they Modelu figures?.

Re: WEST ORTON
I've been struggling with a condition known as trigger finger for the last year which has rather curtailed my modelling activity. Injections helped last year but a flare up recently has sent me back to the doctor.
I've now been offered a possible operation but have been confused by the NHS referral system.
Today I had two links sent to me to book a) a face to face consultation and b) the operation itself.
I have duly done that and have been offered an initial consultation in a month's time and surgery next week.
Go figure.
