A wagon project completed. Amazing how much weathering can make a difference, even with my limited artistic ability. But hey, it looks good 2 - 3 feet away, so it works for me.

After a hard weeks work of shuttling wagons to and fro, the meandering Manning Wardle has returned to the shed for a rest. The loco is an excellent model by Minerva, very well detailed, economical and runs faultlessly.

Meandering Manning Wardle
Just a photo for the day. Not much work has taken place on the railway, just too much work to do at this time of year. Still manage to run some trains on the weekend. Always great fun.

BB Signal Box #3
Coming to the home stretch on this little project, and I must say I'm quite happy how it's turned out. It's a really neat little kit from Peco, fun to put together. I had a good time tossing together some interior details with no cost. Painting & weathering has really brought it to a nice conclusion. Last final touches will be the Boxer Bay name board, and the down spouts need to be installed. All for now.

BB Signal Box #2
A little more progress on the signal box for Boxer Bay. It has now been painted. Next up is glazing, weathering, lamp, down spout & name board installation. This has taken a lot longer than anticipated but I'm looking forward to seeing it on the layout. Even little projects like this in O scale can seem like a big deal.

Just a couple photos today. One showing a few wagons down at the Boxer Bay docks, and the other the branch goods arriving at Windrush Junction.
