I managed to get the cover for the second scenic baseboard completed today, taking advantage of the fact that the model railway construction room dining room was empty, having been re-decorated over the last week.
Here's the board just put up on a pair of trestles, with the framework for the cover having already been removed:
I attached the clear plastic sheeting to the wooden frame, and trimmed it to size. Here is the frame re-fitted with the plastic sheeting now in place:
I then took the cover off again, and put most of the buildings and other structures that belong on this board, in place for a little photo session:

Having not yet had any firm exhibition deadlines, and this being my first P4 layout (even though it's been under construction for over 10 years!), a lot of my P4 stock hasn't yet been fully painted or weathered.
One of the features of my layouts, is the fact that I like to completely make up find reasons to run industrials on B.R. metals for 'exchange of traffic' purposes. Here we see an Andrew Barclay 0-6-0T, recently transferred from one of the Scottish coalfields to the Coalpit Heath area, bringing a train of mineral wagons in to Callow Lane, from where they will be worked onward by a B.R. loco:
