K-Wagons fixed; sky re-painted
Well, after complaining in my last post that my attempt to put Micro-Trains 1015 couplings onto my first K-wagon was a disaster (and it was!) I 'miraculously' rediscovered the "NSW N-Scale Group" newsletter that had the instructions. I'll post them here, trusting that Graeme Goodsell who wrote them would be ok with this!
I fitted two more K wagons with the couplings (this exhausted my supply) and refitted the original one and all three are fine now!
You can see the 'lighter' coloured sky in the background - still looks dark in this photo taken on a mobile phone camera. But compared with older shots it's much lighter!
I also repainted the sky - it was a vivid, bright blue so I attempted to put a wash of white paint over the top. Not as successful as I'd have liked, but it does the job for now. I can't put 'Saddleback Mountain' on the backscene until the scenery--at least in its basic form--is in place.
The next thing is to fix the track that is misaligned where the two baseboards join, but that's simple.
A good day for the Jamberoo Railway I'd say.
