D&RG Monarch Branch & fallen flag SFRSD RR: Another Update

29/05/2019

Another Update

More progress but slow

Finally got to finish the Durango Press Water tank and my Cimarron Depot. Also got to work on mocking in the scenery down the left hand side of the RR. Started work on the Cimarron freight house however the kit has the incorrect windows supplied.
The station and tank.

I picked up the following two second hand kits at the convention so set about getting these ready for the RR.

Foam scenery base starting to take shape. I will cover this with plaster gauze then rock moulds.

That's about it for this post, not too much done as I have had the flu for five weeks after coming home from the convention.
Thanks for stopping by.
