The supporting walls were trimmed using my electric polystyrene cutter, then scraped roughly down with my craft knife. i seem to have mislaid my little wire brush. Then as can be seen brown paint was applied to give the slopping ground a good dark brown base.This will be covered later with wicked overgrown brambling stuff and ivy.
i realised that i was nearly out of brown paint,and it being a Saturday Mrs B, kindly said, " I`ll fetch you some back from Anglia Square on my way home from the city." Thank you",i replied as she went bright smiling upon her trip to the city centre of Norwich.
So i decided to write a little chapter
and then play a lot
and then adding
write again here in this unusual topic.
Having designed an interchangeable system of universal castings a large double sized railway tunnel entrance was added to the same bridging piece seen earlier with the planned viaduct passing overhead. Another same sized entrance could have been added to the other side,but would not have been seen by the camera so it was not. By removing this entrance,and replacing it with the smaller tunnel entrance already shown it is possible to have the canal system below too.
It took about two months to produce all these universal fittings and ideas are now flooding in concerning the waterways and the railway lines and how best to use my castings.
These things cannot be rushed, for my rushing fast times are over and will never return.
The medium sized walls placed in this dry run are for extra support only in this imaginary playtime of fun, and are not intended to be placed for a certainty on the actual layout table like that. My odd style Beano Boy Café,has also been pressed into service along with a few of my ancient home-grown trees i grew from a wire-wool pip over 15 years ago.
A Tip From Mr Green
" One has to water a sample of the wire-wool before such an enterprize in order to make sure for certain that the stuff will not rust and fall to pieces." ___
" Hundreds of BB`s tree`s all shapes and sizes horridly rusted up and fell to unimaginable bits on their rustic way down."__
"A disaster,i think."________
" Yip He should have made cactus, no leaves needed." The Cowboy who sleeps in his boots sang out.__________
" But there`s no cactus in the leafy green of Fiddle Wood."________
" Or Hougoumont, i think."________
" So stainless steel wire-wool is needed!"
O`ll George`s narrow boat,and Stephenson`s colourful Rocket helps further to set my little scene.
See you guys later
