While down in Devon on holiday last week, I started weathering a few Trinity 64′ reefers – one ExactRail and two BLMA. I added graffiti decals and dirtied them up a bit. Still need to tone down the rust spots and then spray with matt varnish to seal it all. But a good start…my first weathered rolling stock!
Work has been progressing well on Rochelle Intermodal over the past week. I’ve completed all the trackwork on the new flyover section, including laying the single-slip and left-hand turnout (they still need to be hooked up to point motors…somehow!).
I also had to re-lay a section of track on the Caron loop board as the S-bend was too tight for my new Trinity Reefers from BLMA and ExactRail. Now they run round perfectly!
Still a few niggly bits of trackwork to sort out, mainly the rails at the board ends, some of which need slight alignment adjustment as there are still occasional derailments.
Here are a couple of photos showing the new flyover and replacement track:
I’ll post some more photos later this week as I do more work on the layout. My next step is to airbrush the trackwork with Testors Concrete, then paint the rails ready for ballasting.
