I failed to click on the blog link when you posted it - silly me. I really like the second image, the 08 plus two long vans makes for an oddly satisfying train with a good sense of bulk.

I know you mentioned you'd been putting off the overbridge for a while, but what's there so far looks good - like the brick retaining wall plus earth bank combination. I suspect you might need to raise the bank a bit so it comes up to the road level? Or is it a footbridge?

nice picture

Thanks, yes one of my favourites from that layout. Unfortunately the layout has since even skipped although I kept all the stock, but do plan on selling most of it this year. These days my interests are narrow gauge both 009 and G scale European stuff.
