Hi Tim thanks for the comments, yes I had to grovel to get the Tupperware box

My next offering is a small running plank, which is a rectangular plinth measuring 300mm x 100mm.
The plank is to run my P Class locomotive back and forth. The Peco track has been fitted in place ready to weather up.
A peco buffer stop will be built and placed at one end of the track. I'm thinking of adding a narrow platform along one side of the track.
Ballast, static grass and other detailed railway items will be added to the plank as the build progresses.
I have added a picture of the work so far, more to follow..

Great initial concept - will look forward to following your progress.

Thanks Bandit Mick. I am looking forward to the build.

Oak plinth has arrived and Peco SL OO gauge has been glued in place. Track weathering has begun, and next will be to build a small coal staithe using wooden coffee stirrers.

Progress started today painting and weathering the track.

Hi I'm pleased with the track weathering and I paid particular attention trying to emulate old wooden sleepers.
I have added a picture of my progress.

Always interesting to see a build process. Keep the pictures coming please.

Bandit Mick thanks for the interest in my build.
