Another update. Must be getting my mojo back.

Thoughts are turning to how I should fill in this corner. From the road bridge to a tunnel mouth it will run through a cutting. What type of cutting is what I am pondering over. Should I go for a normal type with 45º banks, or perhaps a retaining wal about 5' to 6' high or a full height walled cutting. In real life there are factors to consider like land use and geology. It could be that I end up with a combination of all three on the inside of the curve and a walled one on the outside as this is dictated by the side of the shed.

Not quite decided where the tunnel mouth will go. I had originally planned for it to go where the ballasting ends. This would give a longer tunnel section and hence darker tunnel. Where it stands at the moment, it is next to the lift out section for the doorway. The garage is inspired by a couple in and around Bradford-on-Avon, Keates Garage on the Frome Road and Winsley Garages in Winsley. Both had a hotchpotch of buildings, car and truck / coach workshops and were coach operators. Keates also had a small car showroom. Winsley Garage was, so I have been told, is the Crump and Pearce garage in The Titfield Thunderbolt. Though I remember it from around 15 years later when one of my first loves was the owners daughter. :wub:
