Dr HThe last couple of angles of the N-gauge train display base.
I used foam to make some bushes under the platform, there's also some spare sleepers under there.
The length of track is part of a bent and broken piece, repaired for this purpose.
The ballast is activated carbon from water filers that I had around for tarmac uses.
And the grass is a piece of flocked paper I found along with the trains. Plus some of my own static grass.
Drew 🇵🇭A quiet day.
1. Finalising track layout details and parts purchasing lists for the #NGauge #ModelRailway I'm building.
2. Inspecting the work in progress on the footbridge and goat enclosure.
3. Some time spent comforting Max (our smallest dog) due to much thunder rumbling over the hills to the east. He's terrified of storms and is only pacified by curling up on my shoulder and putting his head on my face. However, because he weighs 10kg and is not an olympic gymnast, this means I have to stop whatever I'm doing and lie down on the bed with him until the storm's gone. Tough job but someone has to do it.

Drew haz a hobby... I don't post a lot about the model railway, mainly because I just have a tiny (120x60cm) test layout for now while I try to find enough time to build the benchwork for a bigger layout.
But anyway, I'm focusing on Switzerland with some overlap with neighbouring countries, and I buy most of my stock second hand because have you seen the prices of new stuff?
The pic shows my latest used haul which arrived today from a trusted UK supplier. For scale, the front left wagon is 10cm long. This little lot cost me about £100 which is less than half retail price. Not the cheapest of hobbies, but I'm a #railfan so what can I do?

Moving to a new instance is a sly excuse to write an #introduction post (I never did one before).
I'm Drew. I'm male, middle aged, child-free, a Brit but don't feel like one, living in 🇵🇭 for the last few years. I'm #neurodivergent with quite severe #CPTSD. You can ask me about it, I'm trying to get better at discussing it. I'm married, I work in #tech and I love animals and nature.
I will almost certainly bore you with pics of our dogs and goats and the landscapes around our property (we bought a neglected fruit farm to have a peaceful place to live and now we're accidental hobby farmers).

I have a one-page personal site at https://drewtowler.me which expands on all this.
