 I doubt that I am alone in suddenly having a workbench full of ‘I’ll do that in a minute’ things. The odd repairs and bits of painting that won’t actually take long, but interrupt the flow of the more important task at hand.<\/p>\n

With the brake van winging its way toward landfill and the condemned 16 tonners into the Rhiw 2 stock box, things turned back to Drovers Brook. One of the workbench things that were hanging around were these two sets of stop blocks – one old school Peco for the Code 75 track at the platform release end and the newer Bullhead item which is for the coal siding. They are noticeably different, but are not interchangeable across the rail types. Painted with first 62 orange as a base and then Typus Corrosion and a wash of black. I note with some amusement that this had essentially taken three coats of paint to get them to the colour that that started out at. Hmmmm…. though there is a much more matt texture. Only one lamp needed and this and the wood blocks were touched in with brown, white and SR brown for the lens; not red. These and tie-bars repaired on Rhiw’s runner wagon has dented the pile somewhat.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
