A Toad !

Finally got around to building a brake van.  I needed a toad brake for the Great Western trains at Windrush Junction.  This particular one was built from the Peco kit # W601,  a 16 ton van,  and very nice it was to build too.  Still needs some weathering and touch ups.  A fun little project for the week,  back to scenery on the layout.

Windrush Junction update

With more spare time I've been working on the basic scenery around Windrush Junction. It's coming along little by little.  Here's a couple shots showing the overall scene as it currently is.  The line heading off into the "black hole" at the far end is the GWR line to Minehead,  which in reality heads to a fiddle yard in the closet.
