Lazy Grange Bay 3...a new start

[mike]

Track maintenance was due, so I ran the track cleaning loco..made a brew , and put the wizzy cranks out with it. Drank the brew, pondered life, the universe, and everything...made a second brew, because cleaning track is so stressful.
Then set the wizzy cranks of on its own on speed step 2..

A damn good read!

Thank you
Spent today, removing worn vehicles, cleaning up the road surface/pavement, and started putting out some of the nicer bits out for spring..

 

[mike]

Picked up a ob bus via evilbay..needs a minor fix, and some passengers , repainting the resin flower tubs as well as finally doning the pendal valley bins from Mike Lowe

 

[mike]

Next on the to do list, and yes it really was boring...but I could sit while working ,,and watch the train while working... on picking all the balast dropped in the cannle water/glass..it took a while, pliers , and a bowl.
After that exciting bit, I moved onto cleaning up the church pathways, and swapping out the weathered solders , with a freshly painted set. I also put out a wedding party..

 

[mike]

Spent a few days testing when the weather allowed, also started making a new building ,village petrol station

That V8 Rover is going to need plenty of fuel

 

[mike]

Slowly working on the petrol station and garage, it sits on its own base, and has working doors on the garage, as I intend to add a bit of detail inside, and want to be able to close up shop ect ,
