With the banner repeater done and installed (painted the hand-rails white for some reason, will have to change that), the far corner tree placed (but not fixed yet) and the footpath lamps in place all that needs to be done is:

Fix bushes etc to hide the gaps;

Put the foliage on the RBO (Ridiculously Big Oak) and plant it to the left of the tracks;

Plant the other NSRBT (Not So Ridiculously Big Tree) on the right together with the tiny trees;

Add some 'dry grass' and some darker 12mm grass here and there;

Make the throat bracket signal (and make it work);

Place the throat double dummy;

Do the point rodding;

Ballast;

Finish the crossing (need to visit a McDonalds there);

Point heater bottles and cage;

Lampmans' hut;

P-Way hut;

Place signal box;

Finish fencing;

Telegraph poles! Now I've had the idea I'm not letting go!

That's an alarmingly long list.... ah well, here's some pics of things today.
