Excellent work, George. I like the bricked up window and its general design. Are your going to make a tunnel around where the track goes into the building so it looks like it goes inside?

Thanks

Yeah I'm going to add another wall in, then keep the chocolate biscuits behind it inside the building

Been to the model shop and had a rummage in the back

I found an old Triang snowplough, with a wheel set missing, and got it for a quid

I'm going to repaint it and maybe put a motorblock under an turn it into a loco.

Looks great! Is it going to run as a snowplough? Can't wait to see what you do with it!

I might keep it as a snowplough, or if I put it on the post office layout, it could remove dust from the tracks

Thanks,

That's a great idea to motorise it George, i would never have thought of that myself.

Thanks Neil

I've got a Hornby Pug chassis, so I'll see if that fits - I don;t fancy spending a tenner on it as it's just a little gimmicky thing.

I'm just about to make some decals for the 'Medford Dust Clearer'

Hmmm, it appears the chassis doesn't fit inside

It also appeared with the base hacked away it can't be used as a wagon

The siding that's on there is for repairs anyway, so I weather it and make it look like it's being canibalised for spares...

Good idea.

I seem to remember they did that to one of the original Snowdon Mountain steam engines, Ladas, when it derailed at went down a cliff.

I've finished the Sorting House (just needs a roof), and now I'm weathering.

This shows what a bit of dry brushing and loads of talent can do
