A pleasant day was had at the Southampton Model Railway Exhibition today. A reasonable mix of layouts and trade. For me though the best bit was the ability to get one board of the layouts back scene sorted. On the MISM stand there were some ex demo low relief warehouse units. Three of these later, its on it way to be sorted. I've uploaded a photo or two to the Westlea Road section of my fotopic site, the link for which is to the right.
While i was there i was also on the hunt for a suitable station building but sadly nothing was found. There were a few possibilities but many required too much kit bashing, something i am keen avoid.
Also some time was spent at the station at Eastliegh and while there i managed to fire off around 100 photos of just general detailing bits that will come in useful for the layout, this included even taking photos of what colour the platforms actually were!
I've also been able to inspect the damage from my time with the filler and apart from a section which i put on a little too wet its not come out too badly, its certainly better than i expected. I need to do some finishing with sandpaper and i suspect a little more filling will be necessary but in most respects i'm not too unhappy with the results. Again some photos will come to show the work as its been carried out. I may add some new sections to my fotopic concentrating on certain scenes as if its all lumped together it seems a little over the top.
Anyway more work to do.....
