KFJ - Some afternoon putty

While waiting for a slow computer exporting 3D files I added some putty to disguise the ´foamy feeling´ on Koltorp. Ordinary wall putty does crack easy if added to thick, so this is just first layer.

KFJ - Koltorp plan

After much (re-)thought I reached the final plan for the Koltorp module. This is a plan which much better comply with my needs for long coal trains and also with three sidetracks, one quite long back behind the screenhouse. The station building will most.

KFJ - Green Anna

Black Victoria has become green Anna ! Did I do it again ? well, maybe not.., but I found the colour I want. I did go for the deep green on first pic below.

KFJ - Another salvage attempt

KFJ - Another happy day in the cave

The RAR cylinders arrived yesterday along with my copy of the Woolwich loco.
