Pistons glued in place along with the wheel linkage that I made from brass and painted



Roy showed me how to paint some OO gauge embossed brick plastic card, I'm using this along with an after eight box to make a station section

Nice work on the loco Jess, and the tracks look great too. They simply complete it.

Great job on tHe tracks and the cylinders. Love the attention to detail

[Jesscheekylee]

Thank you for your comments

Benches made from match sticks.



Clock and sign was made from a print out from the internet, then I got a matchstick and coloured it with a sharpie. The floor was done by felt tips on white paper.



Benches have been stained. The station signs are a combination of internet print out and decor from my OO gauge railway set that I didn't use.





A decor from OO gauge Railway kit that wasn't used.

Love what you have done with the station, will you add any figures? With the train alongside you could be on too a winner!

[royjess]

I don't think adding figures is within the rules?

I do believe Jess will be adding figures and working gas lamps after the comp as these will be either kit form or aftermarket items and will not be allowed as part of the comp.

[number1]

Ahh good point, you could always "morph" a few figures from plastacine

[Jesscheekylee]

Just for you #1, some pics of the station with some figures on, these figures are waiting to go on our winter wonderland Xmas layout. Please disregards the next two pics for the comp!

The finished model

Brilliant Jess !! The track and statin really finish off the model. Shows what can be done with some odd bits of scrap and a bit of imagination
