A Year Without Modelling

Well due to one reason or another I've not done anything with Briers Grove, mainly the illness and when I got the time my photography took centre stage.

I did shoot some macro shots, must look them out for a post, must make an effort next year and really sort the shed out properly to create proper space.

Yes perhaps it is time I looked into this more quickly than first thought..!

Embankment & Tunnel Corner

The embankment by tunnel corner is now progressing with added height and a scrub land area to the bank end of the goods yard. The idea is to create an over grown area that requires clearing or perhaps something similar, as I have some old buildings I wish to use with a scene I thought this may prove an ideal location. Adding the extra height to the embankment will give further depth to the scene, making the tunnel area really stand out as the loco and carriages emerge.

What Can One Say

So the railway layout is taking it's time, slight understatement there I suppose.

So why so long, well I normally do the railway modelling during the winter months, though this last winter season has seen very cold conditions, so the modelling side got postponed.

Now during this time I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and this has caused me bigger problems than I would have imagined. Although I have constant pain in the back, this pain is creating several problems, and being out in the cold shed was something I had no intention of experiencing.

The good news is that with the coming weeks, a return to the shed and railway modelling is a certainty, although this Easter weekend has seen a return of a cold snap and has created a postponed delay until warmer weather returns.
