Brewhouse Quay Update: Rather than end the sidings here with buffer stops, a gate suggesting the rest of the world and large sliding doors to another warehouse/workshop has made a more interesting 'end'. Hopefully the effect will suggest that this is only a tiny section of a much bigger brewery complex. The temporary lack of casks give the effect of a closed brewery - maybe Whitbreads have bought it out and shut the brewery here as part of the their infamous 'Tour of Destruction'?

 

This afternoon in the garden I got out the Grasmaster and some static grass to finish off the ground cover. The colour is a blend of various static grasses saved from previous static grass applications on other layouts. I always empty the hoover (or bag-less Dyson in the this case) and save the surplus fibres for re-use. Colour wise I can tell you that here is a blend of winter and autumn 4.5mm and 6mm grasses from Noch and Mini-Natur.

 

This shot was taken in natural daylight in the garden shortly after the sun went over the horizon.

Very nice Chris - as you say, a refreshing change to buffers - works really well.

hmmmmm

 

That gate looks like a level crossing gate to me, which would suggest a road that runs smack into the warehouse/workshop. Maybe a different style of gate to suggest a railway boundary as intended?

Due to the tight headshunt drivers keen running into it (including me) hence the warning panel and it adds a little colour to a predominately dull stone coloured scene and a total contrast to the other end which ends like this

Much love went onto that etched brass gate and anyway I like it 'so there'. :P

It could suggest a road runs through the complex and it is indeed a level crossing gate ;)
