Carndonagh Station - the Indoor Section, Part 1

30/1/2015

0 Comments

 
I have set myself the task of completing the indoor section of the railway this winter. The indoor track was laid in early 2014, but there is a lot of scenic work to be done.
First, I fettled the warped walls and roof of the station building by heating them with a hairdryer and strengthening with off cuts of wood once the parts were straightened out.
The station platform has been given a coat of dark grey paint, but this will also be surfaced with fine grit in due course, the platform has been edged with individual slabs cut from Plastikard.
Stone walling from Modeltown, and a gate for the mill yard have been painted and glued in place along the back of the station area.
A platelayer's hut and a urinal for the staff have been made from Modeltown kits. I added a back wall, interior lining, a tiled floor and plumbing to the urinal. The hut roof has received some rust treatment since the photo below was taken.
There is a brick buttress half way along the workshop wall and I am in the process of building a large low relief water tower to disguise this feature. The base structure of the water tower was made from 6mm MDF, this was overlaid with stone effect plastic sheet for the tower and plain Plastikard with plastic strip detailing on the tank section.
