We continue to own and work on our 5 main scenic boards as well as the two end boards that will contain the turnaround sections at each end of the main line.
We have started this month to concentrate on some of the scenic aspects on each board.
Ted, Kevin M, Geoff and Kerry all hard at work on the individual boards.
Ted is working on the tunnel entrance and the supporting embankment walls for the branch line as it enters the underground section and then eventually emerges on our turnaround board. Kevin meantime is taking a rest from mowing the embankment!
As our layout is based around the Poole area, we decided to add a nominal part of the shore of Holes Bay. This is been contructed by Kerry and includes a realistic rock shoreline with footpath and embankment which leads up to the sidings and mainline near the main station.
Kerry keeping a close eye on the detail including plans to replicate the mud banks at low tide!
Some of our model making needs to take place away from the club.......
Here Steve Copley is well busy on his workbench at home (for that read dining room table as his wife is out!). The main station building is a laser cut design and we intend to use some footbridges that need weathering down from the bright coloured originals.
