Having now finished building the Airfix Stolly it is time to get back to My Last Great Project model railway layout. Having not done any work on it for a month I thought that I would get back into it with something simple and that would show quick results and all be very therapeutic. So, it was out with the ballast and a start on the sidings at the side of the station. As usual, the WMD Stores had already stocked up with the necessary materials including some special siding ballast.
I did mix the two ballasts in an old ice cream tub which I had to empty of the ice cream which was something that I did find somewhat enjoyable!
These were the sidings that needed ballasting with the mix.
A quiet hour or so saw part of the sidings spread with ballast and brushed into place.
Once happy that it was where it should be a diluted mix of PVA glue with some drops of washing up liquid was spread over the ballast.
It is now time to wait for it to dry before going onto the next section with further ballasting. All very therapeutic and a good way to get back into building the layout.
