Turntable, Engine Sheds, Yard. Part Three.

This is Part three of the turntable, Engine Sheds and yard build. Concentrating on ballasting building the grass banking. Mix of ballast with grey and black.
Lighting turned down to 9v with yellow acrylic paint on the leds.

Sensational stuff Pete - the whole area looks excellent, particularly with the lighting in "night mode". Plus - what a great tip on those acrylic weathering pens. Many thanks as always, and all the best.

@@PringletonModelRailway Hi Darryl. Thank you for your nice comment buddy. Still not finished will be doing an update. Those pens nice and easy to work with and you don't get paint everywhere. Small areas only though. Thanks again Darryl, always great to hear from you. .... Pete and Su....

Yet another great video Pete 😊 I'm really enjoying watching your latest developments. The turntable looks a lot better sat in the black ballast. It camouflages the edges very nicely. Thank you for sharing 👍

[@delphjunction1168]

Hi Mav buddy. Thank you for your lovely comment. Thanks for saying you like the black ballast, I wasn't sure about it. Still more to do, going to make it look neater, maybe add a few weeds and rusty rails. 🤔 Hope you're getting better Mav, missed Brian's live but did see some of the video. Heard your name so new you were participating. 🌝 Would have liked the Peco turntable but didn't want to make the bloody Great hole in the baseboards. Thanks for watching Mav...Get well soon buddy. Su sends her love.😘 ....Pete and Su....

Hi Andy. Thank you for your nice comment. Not as good because of the small space I had to work with. Not as nice as you layout. Thanks for watching Andy. ....Pete and Su....

@ Hi Pete, we are all limited on space but to me it doesn’t look over crowded 👍

Being light grey it can be darkened in places if you so desire Pete, nice work and looking forward to Doncaster.

[@delphjunction1168]

Hi Andy. Thank you for your nice comment. Yeah not sure I like the grey and black. Because of the space I had to work with seems a bit cramped up. Thanks for watching Andy. ....Pete and Su....

Hi Lyndon. Thanks for the your nice comment. Need to spend a bit more time on it. Thanks for watching Lyndon. ....Pete and Su....

[@monsvillerailways5736]

Great progress Pete. If you feel that the black is a bit much, can you try springkling some grey ballast over it to pepper it with patches of lighter ballast. If you don't like it, vaccuum it up. If you like it, glue it down. Your layout Pete. Your call 👍 Maybe the odd weed? Embankment looks good. Happy Modellung. Hi to Su 👋

Hi Pete, The yard area is coming along nicely, and your trick with the yellow weathering pens on the lighting works well. Are you there both days, Pete. I'm at Doncaster on Sunday, so hopefully, we'll see you there, if you're doing both days... Cheers James 🙂👍

[@delphjunction1168]

Hi James. Thank you for your nice comment. Yeah the yellow pen saves getting resisters to dim the leds. Yup doing both days. Hope to see you on the Sunday. Thank you for watching James. ....Pete and Su....

Hi. Pete. I dreaded ballasting for the first time, but I really got into it. Just take your time, and it's quite relaxing. Regards. Steve

[@delphjunction1168]

Hi Steve. Thank you for your nice comment. Once the ballasting is done you get a sense of achievement, but then it's pva time, so quite a bit involved with it. Thanks for watching Steve. ....Pete and Su....

Nice job Pete, I used black sand blasting grit for ground coverage llike you have.

Hi Clive. Thanks buddy. Yeah in two minds to use all black ballast, but hey can alway make changes in this hobby ay. Thank you for watching Clive. .... Pete and Su....

[@PondersEndModelRailway]

very nice, it's not about what we like, but what you like. I would be tempted to put a mid grey wash over the ballast on the entrances to the sheds. This will focus your eye to the sheds rather than the ballast. I have a similar issue with parts of my shed area

[@delphjunction1168]

Hi ya. Thank you for your nice comment. Thanks for your input, good idea. Still not finished yet got to add more things. Just wanted to get the vidio out by the weekend. So more stuff to do. 🌝 Thank you for watching. ....Pete....

[@ShedJunction]

I liked that yellow pen, makes the lights much better. Oh I cringed when I heard that turn table, must be ballast :-) I think ballasting was one of my least favourite things to do too. I like the black ballast, gives it some depth..

[@delphjunction1168]

Hi Graham. Thank you for your comment buddy. Yeah hate the sound of the turntable turning. Pen is great no getting paint brushes dirty and does an excellent job. Still not finished, got to add a lot more. Just subscribed to you now I know who you are.😂 Not vlogger been subscribed to that channel for years as has my bro. Thanks for watching Graham. ....

[@collinsngauge5493]

Hi Pete you are doing a good job, not picking fault, could you dry brush the black to gray so it blends in to the gray. Your idea is great using black and gray I'm trying to make it better, sorry better is not the wright word, i don't know what word to use. I will be at Doncaster on Saturday and hope tosee you. Colin

[@delphjunction1168]

Hi Collin. Thank you for your nice comment. Hey your not picking fault, all constructive input is great.
