This week I made more progress on my new layout.
Firstly, I made a start on weathering the track. For this I used Geoscenics ‘track grime’, mixed with a little Tamiya flat black acrylic, applied with the airbrush. I gave the rails a clean after with a track rubber.

Secondly, I added a walkway from the station to the signal box using coffee stirrers. I painted these using the Track Grime wash linked above.
Thirdly, I added more dry stone walls and put down a couple of layers of static grass. I used Woodland Scenics light green coarse turf to blend the walls into the scenery once the grass was down.
After that, I added Geoscenics coal the to the coal staithes. They sell coal in various grades, so I used different grades of coal in different staithes.

Next, I started adding some details to the cottages and station platforms, including benches, signs, flowers, clutter etc. I also added a water crane.
I also added the first of many trees! Like on the main layout, I start with very large trees at the back then work around and in front of them.
As always, thanks for watching.
