Cattleyards



Cattleyards are situated on the dead end siding at the southern end of Boolite  yard. Yesterday I decided to replace the yards with new ones more closely following the prototype.

The original yards were damaged when I dropped a hammer on them while fixing a point in the yard. The new yards are made out of 20 thou styrene strip, pieces of old rail and styrene sheet of rivets. 

The yards follow the standard VR plan (F371A). Rail has been painted Humbrol Matt 70 while the timber is painted with a mix of Humbrol 110 and 64. I'll weather the yards with powders at a later date. 

For the yards I now just need a prized Mallee bull waiting the delivery a M cattle wagon for loading.
