Georgeham micro-layout and an ECC wagon

Georgeham is now on its final leg to completion. Having taken a few photographs of it recently, I thought the backscene looked a little bare. I have a added a sycamore tree and a low relief barn, built from scraps of corrugated iron plasticard. This has been given some gentle green, rust and weathered black coats and now addes some depth to the field for the Georgeham shelter/platform.

The low relief barn is shown to good effect, working as the back drop for the platform.

Inspiration has been lacking a bit recently, so not to much has been achieved on the modelling front. The one small project that has got completed in addition to the low relief barn is the ECC china clay wagon coupling conversion. A couple of white coats and some matt varnish finished the wagon off, after hacking away a lot of the wagon chassis to get the coupling in.

I have decided that I will spend one more day on Georgeham. The tunnel needs a bit of work and the fence needs finishing at the front. Also the lamp looks rubbish and needs sorting out and having a switch put in. This and a few other odds and sods need seeing to, but none of them are big efforts. In general it is close to completion. Questions is, what to do with it once finished? I have little room for it, so it might get sold/given away to make room for work starting on Pottington Quay in earnest.

And another item of rolling stock ready for service on my layouts, the second ECC wagon is ready to go
