Coaling Stage

  It has been a long time since my last update.  Summer time just isn't conducive to working on the model railway,  at least for me.  I generally use Summer to take a bit of a break from the layout,  go outside,  enjoy the warm weather etc...  but Fall is now here,  and I've been re-energized to get back to the railway !

  Progress on the BBR has not been completely idle though,   as I've developed the scene around the loco shed at Windrush Junction,  scratchbuilding this coaling stage and doing a bit of the scenery around it.  Most enjoyable to build using wood.  I didn't follow any particular plans,  just used a few photos from a couple Railway Bylines magazines for ideas.   It seems to suit the location well.   

 The observant will note the tunnel in the background,  which is also being engineered at the moment,  will cover that in another post.   A new video is also being prepared.    Who's excited for the forthcoming Minerva Manning Wardle loco :)
