The weather has not been favorable for garden railway fun, but some progress has been made.
Arosa station has been converted to a mini shade house, to make it easier to look after the many pine cuttings I have started.
Some work has been started on the tunnel into Arosa station. In the background to the right.
Also started on a tunnel at this end too, early stages yet.
The temporary bridge was ballasted as it will have to be in place a lot longer than I hoped. I slightly changed the blockwall here to make the gap for the bridge look bigger and it now also makes for very convenient steps up onto this side of the railway.
When I get the track pinned down here I will ballast this section like the bridge with pea gravel. As this section of track will be altered in the future. Loose over scale ballast but it will look better than no ballast and is quick and easy to do.
Langwies station will in the future get a extension out over where the flowers are now by about 500mm. So I cleared away all the sidings and track bed and just left a temporary single track through. This will be the siding closest to the station in the future and the loops will be out over the flowers.
I Have laid blocks for the station and old Traffo tower. This area was getting over run with weeds so its nice to get it all cleared away. I have planted some ground covers here and mulched it with pea gravel.
There is now enough space to model some houses and the sheds at the back of the station and have a backdrop of mini pine trees.
Most of the rocks are in place now around the railway now, just need a few days without any rain to be able to mortar them in.
