Haul Y Bryn

Quick update. Legs and backboard fitted and some of the scenic work started. Longest part is building the wall at the back of the station but with all the trash on telly I find that I can spend a couple of hours cutting and gluing card strips.

Some new pictures of the wall. I was not happy with the card strips so made some blocks from Das and cut them to size. The light grey colour is just the undercoat and each block will be painted using many shades of grey. Dapol figure just added for scale.

And without the figure

Quick update. Change of role at job so not so much modelling time but more money to spend on the hobby. Have made a water tower and a sheep/Cattle pen

Looks really atmospheric. Plant life is very welsh. Keep it up.

That's really rather nice, only a couple of photos on the thread worked (the most recent ones) but it looks darn good. What have you used for ballast, crushed slate?  I also take it there is some use of statc grass in there, or have you got it looking that good by some other means?

Keep it up

Thanks Guys

The ballast is just run of the mill Gaugemaster N stuff with some real slate mixed in. As for the grass, yes it is static grass ( a mixture of whatever was about ) but puffed onto some Wilkinsons hanging basket liner. I glued this down and then trimmed it with nail scissors and an old nose and ear trimmer, bit like cutting the grass but on a smaller scale. Sorry about the photos, most of them disappeared when the forum went down. The wall is made from Das cut into blocks and then built one by one. Not a very interesting track layout but I can run two locos on it at the same time. One more photo, the engine came from the society stand and is a wonderful runner. This is the first train to run on Haul Y Bryn.

Been a long time since I updated so here we go. The following pictures are of the coal area, the end of the line and the little goods yard hut.
