And now for the final part of the Burneside-esque tramway saga, the countryside section.
As it went between the villages, the tramway stuck to the roadside; here, it went down the length, where the public footpath now runs.
Good old Middleton, and the Balm Road Branch, the location that just keeps on giving. As close as I could get to the atmosphere of Burneside in the present day.
More upcycling; this is actually the board from the Pensnett project, that was used for the exchange sidings. Usual packing foam and thin card scenic base.
Papier mache, from packing paper.
It ended up rather more grass-grown and covered than the real Burneside tramway had been, and I wish I'd had the budget for more, and better, trees...
Same business with the gloss varnish and scatter.
And here it is in print. Usually I break up these dioramas for re-using components, but I like this project enough that I'm probably going to keep these boards for future photoshoots. Who knows, I might be able to incorporate them into an actual layout.
