I haven't posted in over a month! Sorry! That's mainly because not much has been going on at Brunswick Junction - I've got a bad cold lately.
The shelf has been taken out of use, as it's dangerous - coupling hooks started pinging off trains etc.
On a lighter note, the ballasting has been completed on the 'straight' line, including the whole of the works siding and the station area - that's as far as the point that divides the main loop from the two locomotive sidings that run underneath the line to the shelf. On top of this (some of it literally), the blank area behind the works siding that was empty - and has been earmarked for a road bridge - has gained a nice load of Woodland Scenics fine 'Earth' and coarse 'Burnt Grass' to give the effect of being in shadow and nothing being able to grow. I've organised a shunting puzzle for today, whereby I have placed varying wagons, coaches and locos in all of my sidings and I will sort them out into rakes. That should be fun! See you next month.
Happy Modelling!
