Tonight I added a lot more weathering to the Romanian ballast wagon. The ballast load was completed, a bit of extra lead weight added inside, general stray ballast added to the low level ballast doors and to crevices around the model, some rust highlights dry brushed on and the bogies reattached. Once final touching up is complete this needs a coat or two of matt primer.
Earlier in the afternoon the new turnouts for the hidden sidings were pinned down into their correct positions and plain line track laid out to show the look of the eventual track plan - the shot below was taken standing on a chair above the board and even then I couldn't get the whole 6 foot board in shot!
A 009 narrow gauge model railway of Rhyd Ddu. The project was born in late 2005. This blog describes the planning, woodwork, track laying, wiring, DCC, scenery, locomotive and rolling stock. The layout is an impression of the Welsh Highland Railway (WHR) Rhyd Ddu station and Tro Ffridd reverse curves. 009 is 4mm scale (OO) narrow gauge using N gauge track.
