One station of the Devan & Summersett
Nice work, Sol, it's come together very well indeed. Are you going to ballast with the platform edge in place?I only ask as the water/p.v.a. mix could 'wick' up that excellent Brickyards paper and spoli it if it's not very well sealed…….

Yes Doof, to be ballasted in place & I will give it another coat of spray before I do it. In fact I will go out & do it now while it is nice weather. Just after 4.30PM & just over 20c (68F)Nice work, Sol, it's come together very well indeed. Are you going to ballast with the platform edge in place?

Marty - … and that's mid-winter!
wish it was here!
This must be the hottest day yet here, it's showing 94* F, even on the thermometer on the north facing garage wall that NEVER sees the sun………phew!

I should imagine our friends in Spain are probably frying just now and as for Rick's 120F - I hope that's a dry heat Rick otherwise I'd lie down and die - heat I can manage, humidity is definitely a no-no for me.

No, on reflection, I think we'll just continue our suffering out here. :cheers:cheers

Those temperatures are reached when the north wind blows dry heat down over us at up to gale force. Wen that happens the humidity drops from a typical 40 - 50% to as low as 3%.
Many places record well over 50C in the open sun which is around 122F and unofficial recordings of up to 56C (133F) are claimed for 7th February (Black Saturday) this year when the biggest bushfires started.
Barnstable would cop some of those extremes as the air temperature in South Australia can be at least as high as it is here.

I was going to do the L+S Doors warehouse but decided to do the platform first so below is the first photo & it will an ongoing process.
12mm MDF about 1m ( 3'3") in length - then to have some 4mm Balsa underneath to get the height almost bang on then the card top.
The station building is one my mate did not want so he modified slightly to fit - made from balsa & card.

The drop-off between upper & lower - I plan to use stone wall & some sloping terrain.
Using MDF means that at least the platform is level - in previous platforms with balsa/card, getting all pieces the same dimension was not the easiest.

… Are they uncouplers at the far end of the loop?
Yes Chris, the only two on the layout as all other locations are reachable.
John, yes it will be next with step by step stuffups included

a couple of shots showing the stone wall supporting the platform - paper by Brickyard - a USA software package. This pattern matches the platform on my goods shed early in the thread.
Platform edging after all the walls finished & for the main surface, I found a packet of Metcalfe Paving Slabs - but I am getting ahead of myself as usual.
When finished, it will be sprayed with matt varnish again ( the paper sheets have been sprayed once already) then glued down in a couple of spots.
