progress so far
Whilst this may have been mentioned somewhere else (*), could you enlighten me as to what you're using for the snow effect? Tx.

(*) I'm a newbie - if there's a ref in a back issue...
I am using microballoon, tiny glass balls used to make lightweight filler for composite aircraft

The track is all laid and ballasted either with snow or ballast. I am waiting for the backdrop aluminium before the scenery can be continued.

Most people would just by their Christmas card, not build one... ;D ;)
That's looking very nice John. Well done!
(but it will be a bugger to send through the post! :laugh:)
Julien, you can send it all right but letterboxes just aren't big enough these days!

My word that's pretty impressive! It makes me feel cold just looking at the photos! Will any parts of it be with you at MR Live? (obviously not running on CouGate though!)
J
MR live is for CG only. We have no means of shipping both layouts together!
JdF
Full feature on Bratton Fleming will be appearing in Feb issue of BRM (plus free DVD of County Gate)
I see there isn't a photo of the finished article on this post. Hope this does it some justice John. Taken at Chatham this year. Excellent piece of work and it doesn't half feel cold!
