This build is mostly Amy's, and it's another Coach and Wagon Works kit. We love these models, they're cheap, very well designed, and great lunch-break projects we can do at work.
Amy was experimenting a bit with this one, colouring with paint-pens and markers rather than paints.
For a relatively simple kit, there were some interesting build features, like the frames (to hide the slot and tab construction) and the very finely-cut lattice.
One mint-green and cream barrow; perfect for our summer-holidays set layout.
The photoshoot was delegated to me, and was a bit tricky. To start with, the layout isn't quite finished, and needed the station area fettling to serve as a backdrop. Then there was the business of waiting for the weather to get sunny enough to shoot (bearing in mind just how unpleasant and wet the winter was). I think you can tell looking at the pics, it's a pretty cold day I shot these. Then there's the figures... yeah, we need some more for the layout. I ended up raiding some of the G-scale figures from the Seaside Miniature Railway build for kids/teens queuing for the ice cream.
As usual though, the Garden Rail team made it look great on the page.
And nice to do a project that somewhat heralds the arrival of better weather!
