Progress on the layout has been steady since I last posted. It's been enjoyable to take plenty of photographs too. I must say I'm rather pleased with the way the layout has turned out. A few problems along the way but that's perfectly ok, it wouldn't be the same if it was all plain sailing would it.
I've also been building a 94XX pannier but that will be the subject of a separate post. For now here are a few more pictures of Foxbury. Most of them concentrate on the excellent figures from Modelu. So good that I have ony used these on the layout, apart from those in the carriages.
Incidentally, Foxbury will be available for exhibitions, whenever they recommence.
A spot of shunting.
Waiting for the right away.
Painting these figures is very satisfying, just arm yourself with some decent quality brushes and modeler's acrylics and enjoy yourself. The bicycle is from Branchlines and is a 3 part etch assembled with a resistance soldering unit. Superglue works too.
The fireman takes his ease whilst shunting. The poses of Modelu figures are so natural and in the case of the firemen, a change from being frozen whilst swinging the shovel.
