Buildings for the station area....

The main station, this will sit on some offcuts of decking, needs a clean and a few repairs but ready for use.

I'll use a small building as a line-side hut, need to stick on one of the side panels which has come loose and give the roof a re-paint.

a few checks .....

Took advantage of the sunny weather yesterday to do a few bits and bobs

firstly engineers check the clearances in the station approach from the signal box ...

 engineers find the track somewhat off-centre of in rockery cutting...

 a quick visit by the track gang (me) gets the track sitting centrally

 ---oXo---

After a rummage in the garage I got the the necessary bits of track out for the station area and laid them out to check alignment etc ...

not too bad - only about 3" out of alignment at the top end

Station approaches completed .....

Added the edging and laid the track for the station approach from the signal box

 put down the track down for the station approach from the top (in the trackbed section which I prepared previously)

 Now in full swing I got started on the station section - had a massive 'dig-o-mania' puting in the edging to the middle of the garden and dug half of the trackbed

a few more sessions should see the station section in place - more gravel to buy, the station layout to plan .....

Next section of trackbed prepared ....

A rather damp day yesterday but but I managed to get further by getting the next section of the trackbed completed.

On my next session will put the weed fabric down and get some more track in place; after this section is done I will be ready to get to work on the station section.
