This week made some more progress on the new layout - Misselthwaite.
I started by making a new canal boat. Previously, I’d used a wooden model of a holiday barge but wanted to swap this out for a more detailed and accurate model. I found a 3D printed coal barge on eBay, which I painted up and added figures and Geoscenics coal to. The figures preparing the coal are Bachmann. I moored the boat to the towpath using a thin bit of thread.
Next I finally got round to finishing off the ballasting around the points. For this I used Geoscenics N gauge granite ballast. I used Geoscenics scenery/ballast glue to hold this down, which works brilliantly:

Once dry, I used Geoscenics Track Grime weathering solution to blend the new ballast in:

I also dded some point locks to the crossovers and painted these.
Finally, I added another tree on the hill behind the farm, as well as bushes made in the usual way.
As always, thanks for watching.
