Introducing The PistonBroke Line

[OBJack]

Thanks for taking time to read the posts Nick and Ralph, You will send an old man into raptures with those sorts of comments, :oops: but keep them coming.... and I'll double your pay.

A new building came to The PistonBroke Line in September last year.
I got a quote from Rusty Stumps to see if could afford to build one of his structures for some accommodation for the LPBs working on the Line.
After discussions with the War Office, Rusty agreed to a 25 year term for payment, .. . so I rang the builders, and soon.....

....Material started to arrive

I don't reckon the builders are quite up to doing it justice, but with the so many out of work I thought I would give them a job and some experience, and who knows maybe one day they will be master builders like many others on this forum.

Now excuse me while I find the War Office so she can start cracking her whip ..... :hey:

Well finally the builders came ....... there were other things to do they said...

However onwards and upwards
Two pieces the same..? WTF

The kit has a base (or subwall) wall with a cardstock? timber "face" wall which has a sticky backing to glue the two together

So..?

Being a little confused at first, I had to resort to reading the manual.
The manual said it was an easy first step, ....for each wall tear off the protective backing on the "face" wall and stick the two parts toge

The face wall is fairly thick as can be seen from these (not so flash) photos from the manual explaining how they go together

And

just .......make sure they are lined up exactly before they touch and stick, or apparently .......yep they stay stuck all crooked

First attempt

Looks like we had a win.

Then a few more walls and still no mishap

Time for a lottery ticket,

So once stuck together I started to paint the walls, and put a few doors and window sills in.

And even some glass

Just a bit of weathering.........I don't think I want the structure to be too weathered, otherwise the PistonBroke line could look a bit more rundown than it really is.

Whoops hock: there seems to have been a paint malfunction on the middle of that back wall , better get the painters back.
It should be under warranty though.
You just cant seem to trust anyone to do a good job these days. :mrgreen:

Back shortly with a different crew, gotta spread the work around.
