Trying to come up with a mechanism for tipping the v skips into the wagon.

Have you thought of a bloke with big muscles?
Haddock.

Yes, he will stood by the skip. The mechanism is so it can be operated "no hands" so to speak, from the rear of the layout.

Corrugated shed built as per Nissen huts in Battle of Britain thread.
It disguises the mechanism for righting the skips.
It will be painted and rusted.

Tree under construction - wire coated with Polytex,
Scenic work under way,

Polytex must love you....!
Trees from polytex and other materials, now that's a new technique to watch and observe.
Cheers,

Looking good Dave.

Finally had chance to catch up on this build. It's looking good Dave, hope your incline and balance problem stay resolved!!!

More scenic work.

Looks like it will be fully operational.
