Lynton & Barnstaple Platform Edges

Post by doug22150 » Sun Oct 02, 2011 9:41 pm

Just finished grouting the platform edges (made by gluing dolls house bricks to slate) for my Woody Bay station. Just need to decide how to infill behind the bricks now! Either gluing cut slate behind or using a thin screed of cement mortar.

Superb stuff. Looks very tidy.
Tommy Dodd may have an ARS key but I have a TASS button & a Rope Ladder, just like pirates, except the TASS button bit.

Thanks. Mind blowingly boring, though, gluing the bricks to slales with pva! Yes, Swift Sixteen bogie coach. Ballast is Tenmille "scale" granite ballast. Again really tedious to lay and glue, especially with a basically ground level layout!
