Ballasting is now almost completed! Also certain buildings have had their lights connected. The final baseboard which has it's track installed and wired, is now marked out for it's buildings. Watch this space!

Ah. Spoiler alert! Some folk do get over excited!

I'll update properley when I get some decent shots that don't feature the electricians backside in them like the last ones I took!:D...….. believe me, none of you need to see that!

With the old train set now with its new owners down South and more space available to us (well between motorcycles!) progress is accelerating on the new train set.;)

Finished buildings have started to be installed and where fitted the lighting connected up.

Which highlights the interior detail (such as here in the chip shop) which would otherwise be hidden to the viewer.

The pub is now open too!:D

Whereas elsewhere the grass is starting to grow quickly as we ruin the otherwise immaculately ballasted track to give it the run down appearance many of the further reaches of Hulls freight network sported in their twilight years.

More new stuff is starting to move of the workbenches of respective members such as this addition for the coal yard.... (which has nw moved to my workbench for its final finish and weathering).

Progress on the model of late has been more than growing the grass...…..

The cluster of structures that make up the builders yard are now all in place. Though there is still plenty of detailing to do (not to mention a builders vehicle to research, invent and build) before this area is deemed complete.

Whereas at the other end of the street the row of buildings that includes both a shoe shop and bakery (actually a breadcake shop) are coming together.

Far from complete but despite my photography you should be able to make out that both shops have full interior detail - which has included creating many types of 7mm scale bread plus numerous different styles of 7mm scale shoes, boots and slippers.:D

Mind, while the workbenches have been busy with creating all the small details we have also been thinking ahead...….

This should come in handy at some point!;)

It’s all good, very, very good, but the cracked flagstones in the last picture are just outstanding.

Best
