Bench work and Wallpaper - On30 Mining

Progress on the workshop.

The walls were papered this weekend to give a better finish, and as half of the building is for a summer house they will have to be painted.


I removed the shelf's i built above the workbench and will replace them with Kitchen wall units,  I will just be buying the framing just now the doors will follow when i have more cash.


I spent ages trying to workout how best to lay my workbenches out, and i have finally settled for this layout.  I hope it gives me enough space to construct my layouts.

So now its just down to buying another worktop, and the base units to go below the worktop.

I have two 600mm wall units to build and install over the next few days,  But before all that i need to paint the Ceiling and walls.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

With the workshop progressing nicely i am now thinking about the first layout i am going to build.  I have been hunting around for a track plan and a theme, and found a cracking small 3 foot by 3 foot layout to use as a base.  Its a small mountain mining layout with an inverted figure of 8, There is a small turntable with sidings to the mine and a blacksmiths workshop.  The Scale is On30 and the stock will be Bachman Porters with the mining ore cars and other scratch build wagons.

More to follow on this........
