Rails to Black Rock

The trackbed has been sprayed with Halfords undercoat sprays with a further coat of yellowy brown track rust colour applied with the Iwata.

The railhead has been cleaned so that it can be tested. The next job is to build up the mud and ballast between the rails. Very few sleepers should be visible by the end, creating a typical Ffestiniog trackbed of the period. Thoughts are turning to the type of grass to be used; a great deal of improvement has occurred in the type of products available since I built Dulas such as the development of static grass technology.

 The facia is undercoated and ready for an application of satin black paint. With these jobs completed the scenery can have my undivided attention.
