It seem like a long time since my last posting on my blog, truthfully there have been lots of other issues to address for instance I have had to change company I work for to enable me to continue working for the same client, not a good thing when you consider I am 5 months from retirement!
So let update you guys on my progress on “Dunspendin” again
not a lot, the track is laid and tested now I have decided to add a road bridge
over the baseboard joint. A lot of trial and error went into getting the
position of the bridge sorted; this was caused mainly due to track geometry. Eventually
I had a plan. Six brick piers supporting the roadway with Peco plate bridge
sides.
Ok stage one; the brick piers these were cut from 25x18mm
strip pine with an additional strip of 25x8mm this give a scale pier of around
6 foot.
Stage
two; make them brick like, I used modelrailwayscenery.com brick paper wrapped around
the wood, after the PVA glue has dried any wrinkles disappear just like
wallpapering!
That all for me today only another 5 piers to wrap
