It's been a while since the last update here.
Progress since the last update:
- Finished some trees, rather a little forest, given that they're made with WS bagged foliage foam I'm fairly satisfied with the look. Not entirely happy about the orange and red trees, but then around here I'm mostly used to yellow birch trees.
- Built a station area which now includes the coaling station I built a while ago. The station building is again a thirteen in a dozen type kit. Did change it a bit, but the basic form is still pretty recognisable, I guess.
on the less visible side, I cut some already laid tracks and wired them into separate blocks so now there is more functionality around the station. It is still a fully analogous layout, after all. The switches are still unconnected to anything, it seems to me that everything is so close, after all, that remote control might not be very useful.
Currently under construction: some more ballasting, the industrial area at the far left side of the layout and the station area on the right side.
A few pictures:
