Growing weeds....!

The long job of placing weeds around the yard will be spaced out over the course of the build so I don't go crazy doing it...! In between each structure build I plan to plant weeds that were so evident during the era I am modelling. The tufts are placed on one by one with a dob of PVA glue using tweezers.

I started at the station - both the outer tracks will be covered in
weeds as they were not used much later in their life.

Port Dock Station in 1955. Photograph by D. Castle. This shows
clearly the poor state it was in and how weeds are quite
evident on the tracks that were not used much.

The effectiveness of these weeds is shown here.....

The weeds or "Tufts" are from the MiniNatur range and the colour chosen here is "Late Fall" for HO scale.
