I don't think there's any part of the hobby I like more than adding small details to a nearly finished scene, in this case some of Hornby's delightfully rendered wicker baskets and (just out of shot) some Bachmann's equally useful milk churns grouped around the front of the station building. It's a small touch, and really just open-the-box modelling, but I find it really enjoyable to add these kind of features - it's the kind of modelling you can do at at the end of a busy or stressful day and still feel like you're getting somewhere - 5 minute heroes as PMP puts it. Next up will be some seats, trolleys and station signs, as well as a few hardy passengers.

Here are some more general shots of the station area, starting off with Heljan's lovely parcels unit. I've given it a tiny bit of weathering but otherwise it's as it came, other than the addition of a decoder. I've notched some my rails at scale intervals, and the clickety-click sound of this heavy but silent model is really enjoyable as it glides over the joints. Must do the rest of the layout...

Finally, the Mogul and its mixed rake of ex-GWR passenger stock:

Cheers!
