The workbench is slowly coming back into use after the summer break. Although the majority of 'odsock Corner's scenic needs can be met from the existing pile of pre-painted scenic bits I've accumulated, there are a couple of specific items that I wanted to create.
Firstly there is a semi-derelict wagon, in the form of a surplus Black Dog Mining chassis frame and coupler blocks, with planking from a styrene piece marked up for another project but not actually long enough here, hence the missing and wonky planks! As the wheelsets will be visible through the gaps old Parkside Dundas wheels are used, I find these easy to blacken the axle and weather up accordingly.
The lamp post is a combination of S&D Models parts, picked up cheaply on my last trip to the now-closed Goods Yard at Tuxford. It may not actually be an accurate combination of pillar and lamp but it should look the part. Despite passive provision for lighting in the office building I am not fussed about having a working outdoor lamp as it will always be a daytime scene...
