Nameplates and bridges

A few things have been done to the line. The abutments for the trestle have been finished and the bridge put back in position (pictures will follow) and I have started on the next, removable, bridge. In the workshop I have had a go at making nameplates for the locos.


The trackbed through the flower bed is now complete, time for a bridge.
And this will be that bridge. I have put strengthening struts underneath it (forgot to photograph them) and given it a couple of coats of creosote. Detail will follow.

First go at making a nameplate using 5mm letters and scrap plastic. Backing needs to be thinner next time.
Once painted and fixed to the loco they look good
