You can now go to platforms 2 and 3!

The footbridge

Over the last couple of days i have been building a footbridge for Knell Lane. The kit itself is fairly simple (though the plastic rather brittle in parts) but the main problem was that the bridge was not wide enough to span between the 2 platforms! So i cut the bridge in half and extended it with some card. It doesn't look brilliant at the moment but will look a lot better after its been painted and tidied up.

Harrier GR1

Project #068 a Hawker Harrier GR1 has now been completed. This is the first model of the year and has turned out pretty well. The next Airfix project will be a Fokker EII Eindecker, the plane that inflicted the "Fokker scourge" on the allies in WW1 and amazingly that was now 101 years ago!

Destination revealed!

The text in the destination blind on the Class 101 is too small even for me with my 20x20 vision (well more or less) but a bright morning allowed me to take some decent close-up photos of the Knell Lane fleet, and the destination of the DMU is... Huddersfield. So a bit of a long jaunt from Kent to be honest. In other news work on the footbridge has begun. The kit as is is not wide enough to span between the 2 platforms so i am going to try extending it with some card.

Full house

Busy times at Knell Lane, all platforms are occupied!

Harrier progress

Project #068 is coming along well, the main painting has been done and the tape has come off. Now for the endless touching up and patching up of the paint job!

CCT Van

A new delivery of railway materials arrived today including a CCT Van, the layout's first item of Dapol made stock and very nice it is too. Now we have 2 vans we can have a van train! ALso arriving was a kit for a footbridge, some more people, platform seats and some fencing.
