@ Hub and Carver - your comments are really appreciated as I can only aspire to what you guys do !!


I found the following in our local art shop :

   

I have watched a couple of model railway scenery 'how to's '  and their mixture of colours is just amazing .
I am not happy with my colour finish as it stands at the minute - it is not yellow enough to mirror reality but when I tried more yellow - i didnt like that either and covered with some brown. RSA is very yellow/brown in Autumn. I will need to download pictures of the track today and then try again after doing pictoral comparisons.


Current look:

   

In another view - you can see the current look of the track after some painting over the plaster covering of the cracks in the track joints:

   

BUT.......

I then found this :

   


and tried it on another part of the track. Joints not perfectly applied at this test stage - but once dry it has a 'sandy' feel and effect. Will now use this on all the joints I want to cover .

   

This I have realised is no short term project - this will last at least through the winter . Hope you all have patience
