Sandy Hills The new layout

Yes BB but I have not got the guts to try it am going to leave well alone.

I wouldn’t put a wash directly onto paper, unless it’s sealed it would soak in. Also the inks used may not be run proof.
Maybe powders (as much as I don’t like them) would be an option?

When I read your suggestion BB I thought you were thinking it was plastic sheets but it is thin card very much like thick lining paper.

Next job has to be the Stations followed by a lot of ballasting.

Sandy - I think I now recall you saying the "walling" was embossed paper, so Steve was absolutely right when he said not to use paint (liquid) on it. As with all these things, we are all trying to take the "newness" out of whatever we are building.

Started the bridge kit this afternoon. Got all the parts cut off and cleaned up ready to assemble. I think this kit is a bit fiddly.

I used one of those kits Sandy - all very straightforward - no problems at all.

BB Did you stick the square plates together first then add to the bottom and top plates.

Hello Sandy
I used a kit to make this bridge, as I made it for two tracks I used the odd bits of left over plastic to make the middle girder between the tracks.

BB Did you stick the square plates together first then add to the bottom and top plates.

Yes I did. I used a steel ruler as a guide to keep everything straight and level before adding top and bottom plates. My bridge side was not very long, but it worked for what I wanted.
