Albeit slowly, our layout works are going on.
What is now to do is the freight yard completion and the depot displacement to the station opposite side.
Here we are going to describe the work on the yard.

First sleepers and railhead painting , for which we make a two home-made tools, a brass and sponge roller for the formers and a rotating brush with dispenser, a common syringe, for the latters.

After positioning the freight warehouse and the road base, the escarpment built off-work (read the article), we positioned and fix the buildings.

Il posizionamento richiede l’uso della livella, in quanto i moduli non spianano perfettamente, e l’edificio dello scalo necessita di spessori sotto la base per il perfetto livellamento.

Meglio è andata con la torre dell’acqua, che ha trovato collocazione senza interventi aggiuntivi.

We make the yard forecourt roadbed using plaster leveled with a spatula and sanded after drying.

We make the track crossings with forex, directly engraving the counter rail on the material. Subsequently, very fine sea sand is glued onto the parts.

We make the block sections by cutting one rail per track and welding the power supply wires to be connected later to the feedback modules.

We arrange the turnouts leverages and proceed with ballasting. We are using Woodland Scenics buff and brown medium ballast coating with a light weathering when dried.

We apply a veil of fine sand, off-white airbrushed, on the ground .

We add Polak bushes, flockage and Model Scenes firs, self-built gorse and even a few laser-cut Noch ferns.

We then place a Volvo excavator, the Vfcc wagons (TTm kit), spare rails, one scratch-built tree, bumpers a photo-etched double-leaf gate.
And now some details…
