Brafferton - 2mm Finescale

It's looking super, nicely 'worn' but well kept - perhaps a man with a broom off to one end? Seriously, how about adding some small spillages, I'm sure not everything went down the pit and some may have been left on the surfaces?

 

On a slightly different tack, how are you handling uncoupling for the wagons that are pushed up onto the stage?

Thanks for the comments. Yes, some coal spillage will be required on the walkways. When the drops are bedded into the baseboard, I will also be extending the weathering and coal bits out into the yard. Don't be surprised to see the odd sapling sprouting out of one of the farther cells either.

 

Uncoupling will take place on the approach ramp via electromagnet. I use B&B couplings (similar to DG) and these allow for delayed uncoupling; a wagon or group of wagons can be uncoupled at point A, but pushed to point B without recoupling to the loco or main train due to a delay latch.

 

Interestingly, the coal drops were used to access the two yard sidings and to this end there was a sign declaring "Engines are allowed onto the depots". Presumably an A4 or 9F wouldn't be a good idea, but a J39 or N8 might get away with it.
