Down on Beaverbrook: Road results…

After the excitement of progressing the scenic aspects of Beaverbrook over the weekend, it wasn’t long before that stretch of painted road extended a little further…

Moving across the rails and along Beaverbrook street, the finish achieved is just as I hoped. A combination of a faded subtle and varied colour with just a hint of texture…

The result balances the layouts actors perfectly. No longer are models low lit from light reflecting off the white card. Now things are beginning to have a sense of realism until now I had only hoped the layout would encompass. Yes, there is no grass and scrub, yes that warehouse isn’t finished BUT the scene is full of promise.

There is thankfully still a long wait to go, I am enjoying the pace of this layout build. It allows me time to mull over decisions yet run trains when I want, practice whatever skills I have the desire for in a given evening. The perfect tonic and foil to the day job of recreating your dreams and memories. Until next time, more soon…
