I am not a fan of the sun, well not 30c sun anyway and being off work this week means I have had time to do some work on the model railway.

Bit more work on the model railway this weekend.

Painting mud areas and grey areas, laying grass, planting trees and touching up roads where glue didn’t take first time.

It’s muddy out there.

Painted the muddy areas tonight ready for some grass application. The area by the factory that appears to be missed needs the road widening 😉
