This week I'm starting landscaping a 12' x 8' section of the massive 170' long marshalling yard - just to demonstrate the different techniques used to create Heaton Lodge Phase 1. Over the next few weeks we'll ballast track, build embankments, a river, stagnant water ponds and building - as well as creating the exquisite detail Heaton Lodge is well known for.
We'll also look at speed weathering - a technique I've developed for the huge number of wagons on Heaton Lodge.
Thanks again to all of you that contributed to the crowdfunding campaign. The link is still here if you wish to contribute. For £25 you'll get two free tickets to the venue and location of your choice when Heaton Lodge hits the road in 2026! For £100 you'll get two lifetime tickets.
