Well it the end of another weekend, and this one was quite busy, what little free time I had on Friday evening and Saturday was spent getting little jobs finished on the layout, so that it was presentable for this mornings visit by a very nice chap, who was there to turn a "pigs ear" into a "silk purse" I will have to wait a few weeks to see the results.

But more importantly it meant I had to get the backscene fitted to board three more permanently, and also try to improve the exit the branch line makes through this into the storage yard, and the one for the main lines.

Initially when I cut the exit points in the backscene I made them little too large, and they have been getting on my nerves ever since. The one the main lines use as they exit the scenic area was a little too tall, even though I tried to disguise this with that old faithful approach of a bridge.

My first attempts at this improved the situation but it still annoyed me, so I ignored it and moved on to other parts of the layout I actually enjoyed working on. But a little perseverance, and effort and the placing of a suitable vehicle has resulted in a typical "very" narrow lane and the "gap" has vanished.

The other area to look at was to try and reduce the impact of the Branch trains just disappearing into hole in the backscene, into the storage yard. In this respect I am very lucky as I have a very special trick up my sleeve, the Domestic Overlord Even though he claims us railway modellers can be a "little strange" (I mean really from a person who like Star Trek :) )he has helped with great chunks on the green stuff on Foster Street, and secretly I think some of it is rather good. As a result I did not need to do much work, just a few minutes work with some glue (not superglue ) and the area was improved and when you glance at the area from normal viewing heights its quite hard to see the exit.

I did a little work, on a few other areas of the green end of Foster Street and I think its at a stage where I can get away without having to do anymore work on it.

So I think after all this effort, I might have a little break from the layout, after all I deserve it, I mean at one point I even considered thanking the Domestic Overlord, but civilisations have come crashing down over less Well until the next time as ever Happy Modelling
