Narrow gauge platforms

This weekends achievements 




Around four feet of foamboard  loading dock for the club 0n16.5 narrow gauge.
I had to make it in three sections as I was bound to snap it into at least two bits getting it to the club.

As usual, the photography is a bit cruel - I really should improve my camera techniques. Maybe I'll give the sides a little tickle around with the old airbrush, and a bit of 'undergrowth' to be added once the platform is in situ on the layout.

I spent Saturday afternoon building and Sunday morning painting, now I'm off to Fleetwood exhibition to admire other peoples no doubt superior efforts.

The wagon is a Smallbrook Studios Glyn Valley box van, a bargain at twelve quid (+ a Dapol wagon chassis)
