Sorry I haven't replied.................

The "Fluorspar" bit comes from the mineral that is mined around here.
Any road up................. I've been making progress on the loco repair shop - the walls were from a sheet of AnDel Models brickwork: they've now been trimmed to size, glued together and painted.............

OK - the panel is cast in "mortar colour".Mr. Bond of the DVLR:77846 wrote:Could you go over how you painted the brick work please?
The first job is to paint the whole surface with brick colour - I've got a sample tin of masonry paint which is right. I kept the 1/2" paint brush almost parallel with the surface and "lost" much of the paint off the brush before starting, so I only painted the faces of the bricks and the paint didn't go into the mortar joints.
After that, I picked out the black bricks with acrylic and then washed over the whole lot with a very dilute black acrylic - the brick colour is very bright and "loud" until you tone it down with a wash.

................ and here it is completed! It's only been plonked in position and will need a hole drilling in the baseboard for the wire for the lighting and properly "planting" with greenery to hide the gap.
www.mdlr.co.uk/ff05.html shows it in all its gory detail!

Right - you may remember this picture of the sign that was on the line at Exeter:
Well, today IS 25th April, AND..................
THIS is what's standing on its site!
Today's mostly been titivating - adding lettering for the layout title and the "skirt" that hides the stands (and all the stock boxes) and getting loaded - mind you, it's been nice to have THIS as accompaniment!
