Another offering from Anyscale Models is the water tank cast in resin. The detail is just right and, after painting has had some supporting legs fitted.
Not yet completed due to inaccessability of Watershoot Bay whilst readying my 009 Woody Lane.
More strengthening needs to be added before fitting but final measurement isn't possible at the moment.
Below is a porter asleep on a packing crate with the station cat from Monty's Models.
The staithes are from Anyscale Models-https://www.anyscalemodels.com/
I have used their products previously and the casting is excellent with little flash to clean up.
The delivery lorry is a Base Toys Albion CX3 which was produced from around 1935. A driver has been fitted together with sacks of coal, empty sacks and coal scales.I must say that pre-WW2 trucks are virtually non-existant
Once painted the moulded coal had a sprinkling of real coal. A set of Springside coal merchant workers, which comes complete with weighing scales has also been added.
Not possible to add to the layout atthe moment as Woody Lane is being prepared for the S&DJR Trust exhibition at Edington this weekend 22/23rd July 2022.
Using a moulding from the Dapol range of workers, Claud Farquharsen has been securely affixed to said chariot.
It is satisfying that aged figures can be used and without breaking the bank.
Claud is fetchingly attired in light grey overalls, his wife having spent some time boiling them to remove the grease and coal stains.
