    the station board can be lifted off to access 7 storage tracks underneath.

    The buildings are scratchbuilt out of card & balsa and using Scalescenes papers as required.
    Station builing, signal box & goods shed not built bu me but I did add extra details on tiles, etc.

    Nice to see the whole scene and the associated buildings that the railway serves. I like how the scene spans across the baseboard diagonally making the most of the space available. :thumbs:

    Cheers, Gary.

    Charde was my real first attempt at scenery after many years in the hobby and I am happy how the layout as a whole is coming on.

    I like that Ron,

    It looks much bigger than it`s measurements and has a nice open feel to it...:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

    The viaduct scrubs up very well. I don`t think I`ve ever seen a Scalescenes viaduct on a layout before now.?????

    Congratulation on POTW.

    What a fantastic viaduct. It looks like it's been there for some time with the surroundings evolving around it. Very well done.

    Thanks for posting.

    Cheers, Gray.

    Thanks for the POTW

    The viaduct went in very early in the life of Charde but it took some thinking on what I was going to do under it.

    It's worked out very well Sol. Like I said it looks like the landscape has evolved around the viaduct rather than the viaduct just being plonked in place. A really nice piece of work. :thumbs:
