Looking great Sol.  Are you going to fence off the "railway bit" from the road ?

Here 'tis the fence with a gate ….

Brilliant - I know what I'm going to do with that shot …………………..:roll::roll:

That looks great Sol, how did you make the fence? Kit?

Wayne

Wayne, a Hornby R537 fence -with one  rail cut off.
Hornby UK - Model Railways, Train Sets, Locomotives & Accessories

HHmm, about 6ft of fence [not too coarse either] for about £7.00, not bad at all although I dislike using 'tailor-mades'..

Nice work, Ron.

Doug

Good stuff, Ron.

In the past , trackwork & electrics was my main interest but this phase of scenery & detailing bits ,has really got me me going.

The fence really finishes off the scene. I can see you now have the scenic bug Ron, which is great as the ideas keep coming. I would not have thought of chopping a rail off the Hornby fence, but it looks much more delicate now you have done it. I look forward to more.

A slightly different angled photo

Looking from the other end of the shed - ground details slowly coming on….

That looks even better in it's proper setting Ron.

How did that truck get up the steps, Ron?
I expect there is a ramp out of shot.

Starting to look really good with the weeds and general debris between the tracks.

Does this clear it up Dd?

Thanks, Ron.
Yes - in more ways than one.
My "steps" were a fence.
Too much crusted port!

That's looking very, very good Sol. :thumbs

I like the weed growth and odd patches of ballast showing through.  Are you going to dribble some black / dirt between the rails just to add more to the effect ?

I will have to experiment on some old track first, Peter.

It's nice to see an operational layout getting scenery.  :thumbs

I've just dry brushed some flat black on the ballast to simulate oil, coal dust and grease, Peter.  I've dry brushed some burnt sienna next to the rail as well, to simulate rust washed down by the rain.  Worth a try, Sol.

I did some weathering of oily trackwork




Used Carr's coal weathering powder in water - doesn't really dissolve but allowed me to do this.
 That will do, it gives the impression of filthy diesels dropping junk all over.  I have to do the point motor mech covers next!

Start one part of ageing a layout & where does it stopquest:
