logbook August 2010

This month I have worked rather much on the Borkum Railyard.

Top photo shows me on our vacation in the caravan cutting bricks from hardcard. Both first and last time I did that.. It was fun at first, but the need was endless... I stopped counting at 300.. have no idea on how many it got in the end.

Making ballast

Couldn't find same aquarium sand I used before, so I did test some sand from our backyard pile. It happen to be a great hit, this sand was much better with perfect colour and texture.
