Knockomie update 5

The latest progress on Knockomie has seen a Dapol LMS starter signal installed, more work on the appearance of the dirt track in the siding and a platform shelter being fixed down.

Based on the Bachmann Scenecraft Shillingstone platform shelter I have modified Knockomie now has a new fixture. The Bachmann ready-to-plant shelter has been modified with a wriggly tin roof, poters & timetables, bumper strips and a lick of paint to the timber frames to match the Signal Box and Station House, etc. All suitably weathered with MIG pigments and washes. Other work to improve the realism of the muddy dirt road to the front of the layout along the siding has been achieved using Tamiya textured paint. The colour I chose was too sandy/ochre so I corrected this with some earth colours with lighter and darker tones for variety and I'm much happier with it.
Fencing has been fitted along the narrow platform and work on installing lights by Veissmann has begun.
