Following on from yesterdays buffer stop bodgery, the other siding has now had similar treatment to fit a buffer stop. As you may see the cobbles needed gluing back down in certain areas anyway.
With some further butchery and brutality to the track similar to yesterdays adventure, the buffer stop was fitted. Whilst I was working on this part of the layout I decided to add some more vegetation to the hill behind the shed as there were a few bald parts which had been missed with my initial application of static grass. Wanting a bit more colour and texture variation, I used PVA glue, applied randomly but to hide the bald spots. This was covered with Woodlands Scenics medium turf mix as well as some of their poly fiber onto which flock powder was then spread once more PVA had been applied. The whole lot was then treated to a soaking of dilute PVA applied with a syringe. It certainly looks more in keeping with the other parts of the layout's greenery as well as the background scene.
Well, that is all the buffer stops now installed so the sheds can go back in place once the greenery is dry!
