I made a frame with styrene then covered it with  masking tape and painted it silver. The uprights are straight pins with the heads removed.

Brilliant, Charlie as usual - I love the excursion train and the canopy is fantastic.  The Kiski Junction has never looked better!

Some trees have been planted...  further progress has been brought to a temporary halt, although there have been trains running periodically through the gorge at Princess Margot's request...  the coal drag makes it's way downgrade front-ended by a former Reading GP40-2.

My crazy work schedule the last couple of weeks has meant that I have not been able to get downstairs and take any new photos. The other night I stumbled on a bunch of older photos that I had not posted so I am going to start posting some of them until I can get down to the layout and take some new ones.

Playing with a new material (to me.) UV setting epoxy and I am amazed at the time saving it can do. I have to learn a lot but these windows were done with it. It sets in less than a minute but it won't set until the UV light is aimed at it.
