From the outset we wished the layout to be used as a platform for explaining the amount of work undertaken by staff every day (and mostly at night) to ensure the trains continue to run for the public.

The backscenes by the wash and toilet discharge roads were unable to have any meaningful scenery added before the exhibition so they were chosen to display information to the exhibition visitors (another of Glenn's ideas). This not only finds a use for the screen in front of the fiddle yard but also gives people a reason to stand at that end of the layout and not solely congregate around the depot buildings and fuelling area.

Below are each of the sheets displayed along the screen. I created the first draft with subsequent tweaking by Glenn.
