I have finished the turntables bridge (well, I'm not happy with the arch supplied with the tt kit, will be looking at prototype pics and will scratchbuild another, but sometime down the road) and a bit more landscaping. I have to wait till tomorrow to get some more cinders to finish ballasting. I'll now extend the landscaping down to the sand, coal and ashpit area, whilst I wait for details for the powerhouse. I cleaned up the railheads and ran some trains for a change, and took some photos. First is L4 #3129 approaching the turntable.
And from the other side. I was just using the auto mode on the camera, rather than the f stop priority which would have required additional lighting, so depth of fiels isn't so good. When the area is finished to my liking I'll go to the trouble of positioning lights to get better pics.
And on the bridge. You can see the arch is just stamped from acrylic sheet. I only lightly tacked it on for now.
