Progress - Q2/3
2009
In the summer, Dennis Morley, an O-Gauge modeller, delivered the brass locos back after painting - he's done an excellent job. Weathering still to be done. Here are three of them, the 4-8-0 was finished later.
Steve spent most of the past six months
doing shop interiors using various materials from Langley Models (UK, 4mm to the
foot but manageable) and Preiser (right scale but not cheap!). He also made good
use of the colour printer and photos of old shops that he'd been accumulating.
Three examples are shown here, but you can't really see very much once they're
in. To finish them off Steve's been using computer written signs and scanned and reduced posters. Home made decals have also been employed with extensive use of various free and not-so-free software. The signs and buildings still need a fair bit of weathering but it's getting there. Susquehanna Street is pretty much done now, except the sidewalks and ashphalt.
Chris has finished the detailing on the
freight house and only the weathering of the roof remains. Dave has finished the gas station on
Susquehanna Street, again awaiting only weathering And to finish off a few extra photos from our last open evening. We're counting down to the Exhibition at the end of October now - Pete Waterman is opening it (you've either heard of him or you haven't). Trees next...
