Extending the Railway - Part 7

25/8/2014

0 Comments

 
The outdoor section of the extended railway is now complete, following the installation of the cattle dock and station fencing at Malin station. There is one more structure to be built for the outdoor section but it is a non-railway building, a watermill, to be located adjacent to the pond at Culdaff; more of that in a future post.
The cattle dock is made from a GRS kit, it is a little under scale so I have chosen some smaller members of the cattle herd to occupy it. The fencing is supposed to be painted for outdoor use but I have decided to let the steel wire rails of the fence rust nicely. Once the rust has reached an appropriate level, the cattle dock will be taken inside between running sessions. I have designed the dock so that the top section is removable, the base is made from the same recycled plastic used for the track bed; this has been screwed to the station baseboard. The Malin station yard is relatively small and it was quite a squeeze to fit the dock in. I had to cut a section out of the station platform to accommodate it.
