I have just read through the last couple of pages and the transformation in the goods yard is fantastic. Very nice work indeed. One question, did you consider air brushing the ash that you had down originally ?? The signal box lighting is also very nice, the video shows it off beautifully. Another great job. Cheers, Gary.

With such a big area painting it would have been a big jibed any areas that weren't glued properly would have been blasted off the baseboard, creating more work. I am very happy with the transformation so far. Some detailing to go though.

A new vege plot has been created for the signalman to tend. The wood border will be painted and weathered when I get a chance. I've used Noch laser cut plants and some foam flocking material for the lettuce and cabbages. The soil is the track ballast mixed with burnt umber acrylic paint and matt medium. Attached files
