    I have used 2mm thick card painted with BR rail grey enamel. The concrete inside the real shed is likely to have a non dust/non slip coating so no need for a textured finish. Outside the slab surface may be tamped in real life for grip and frost protection so perhaps apply the talc to external hardstandings with slab joints scribed in with a sharp knife. Cheers Darius

    Boat club completed. Need to add fences and complete the scenic bit between the tracks. Cheers Darius

    Well, I did have to “bend the station buildings around a curve… Cheers Darius

    I base it as much as possible on photos of the prototype and modify it as necessary to fit the constraints of the layout. As long as the “look” is right then I’m satisfied. Cheers Darius

    When we moved to Belfast in 1978 we tried swimming off a beach near Glenarm on the coast road. Once the water got above my ankles my feet were totally numb and we gave up the attempt. The only swimming I ever did in NI was in the BRA swimming pool. Cheers Darius

    Is this weird? Did it just get weird here?

    I don’t clamp it down and occasionally it does move - especially on smooth and shiny surfaces like acetate sheet. Cheers Darius

    To be fair, my use of a steel rule makes it a lot easier… Cheers Darius

    Windows made from acetate sheet (old report covers) with masking tape applied. The window bars are cut away with a new blade. The masked window is sprayed with grey etching primer and then white primer. Once dry, the masks are removed. Cheers Darius

    Hi Leslie. I’m using neat pva. As the model station buildings are following the curve of the platform, there are very few right angles… Cheers Darius
