Pictorial Review part 2

I ordered a roll of florist’s wire 26swg for the fence wires at the rear of the cottages. It worked reasonably well I took the opportunity to snap a few more pictures this time with the Canon.



 A bit of tidying up on Arkwright's shop I think

Pictorial Review.


January has been an odd month on Pix valley, not a lot achieved apart from 73068 blowing a chip!
So thanks to the miracles of science I shrunk to oo gauge ok it was a GoPro and Photoshop to do a bit of sightseeing.
Landscaping is coming on and the first row of terraced houses are built and wired for light.


Rushmoor looks much different from the grassy knoll.


The view towards Rushmoor taking in the back of the terraced houses and the abandoned pillbox.


The storage sidings at Western Hill have to be landscaped and distressed.


Western Hill platform two 73068 back in service having had a new chip fitted.


Western Hill Q1 waits patiently for its next roster.


The 08 sitting in the siding the 75tonne crane looks impressive but takes up an awful lot of space!


It must be a tea break in the building site.
