Hi

Since the last posting, I have continued working on the scenery. I built the basic station buildings, using a Peco kit, which has been modified to suit the location.

The bridge that carries the farm track, still needs much work. The slope of the embankment which will carry the road is still impossibly steep, and there is no road surface yet. The front of the bridge structure exists, but not the back yet!

The light railway, didn't go in for fancy fencing to enclose it platforms, they used simple farm type fences, as the local knew how to construct and maintain these.

I have enlarged the train exit and entry, opening at the Van end of the station to allow the back wall of the Mill Farm barn to continue through the backscene. This is an attempt to make the transition work better, I leave you to judge how successful it is.

After completion of opening out the stream where it breaks through the fascia, I then built the baulk bridge, complete with it's abutments. Mill farm barn of course needs to be covered in stone cladding, and the roof in tiles.
