Looks like things are coming along nicely. Always a landmark to my mind when the railway becomes populated.

Thanks Rik. There are a few people floating around, some more suited and some from the land of Playmobile.

The Playmobile people needed to test the new coach before I completed the work.. The chassis is held on with bluetac ;)

The Playmobile people all dashed out in the garden this weekend to enjoy the train ride. My daughter was running the family to the camp site.

These are bole laser craft buffers, not quite finished as the 'buffer' bits are not ready to be stuck on.

A little more work and it's starting to look more like a railway ;)

They'll have a very jolly time, judging by the liquid supplies on the flat wagon!

That's a very nice carriage, and you're right, the railway's looking good - love the turntable.

Cheers,

Andrew.

We have fencing on the platform, buffers and ballast.

Re-reading this thread, there's so much great modelling you've done. Pinched a few ideas for my own reference folder, too. ;)
