West Well's steam up area

[maxi-model]

Just about got the West Well Railway's indoor steam up area finished. For the past 5 years it's just been a length of bare chipboard and was looking a bit of an eyesore. It runs along the back wall of the living room behind the sofa. Heads out into the outside world through a cat door.

Slapped on some green base colour with scatter material blown over while wet. Then went to work with some of the salvaged senic material from the old slot car layout and added a Pola water crane, low relief wharehouse, BOB signal box, CHS coal bunker, some GRS telegraph poles and gantry signal and a couple of LGB (?) trees.

Track was pinned in place with Horticultural chippings balast applied loose within the rails and PVA glued outside.

Loco is a kit built GRS L&B item as are the matching L&B coaches. The goods stock is standard Accucraft L&B.

Nice work Max!

I'd never be allowed that sort of thing in Mizzy's parlour though....

Nice job As much as I'm able to drum up support from my better half, I don't think she'd condescend to such a radical approach to my hobby!

Is there a portal through the outside wall into the garden ?

Yep, look carefully and you will see the cat door just beyond the gantry signals. that goes straight out into the goods/station area of the garden layout. And here is a view from the cat door + the guard at the door. Nobody messes with her timetable !

As you might have guessed I am only answerable to the cat. She gets an extra entrance to the house, I get the indoor steam up area. Simples !
Thanks for the kind comments to all.
