The “pretty” shots of the viaduct are great but this is an integrated system you are building. It all deserves and merits exposure (pun intended) D

Lovely suite of photos, Jeff. Personal favourite would be No.2 D

Just catching up with your question re modelling activity. I am currently working on a club project in readiness for the SEC next Feb (hopefully!) with another club layout in the wings. More interestingly (to me anyway) is the box containing laser cut baseboard bits in the spare room that will become my first home built layout in ages. A simple shunting plank will emerge over winter

Wet track on the S&C? Surely not! The embankments are looking great. D

Let me start by saying I can barely spell perspective so this notion can be dismissed at will. You could consider a bend to the left in the extension to lead it behind the pier. This might help fool the eye. D

The first picture is very illuminating (bad pun, sorry). If you rearranged the lighting as suggested it would blend in very well with the backscene! Please don’t get too hung up on colour. If it looks right to your eye then that’s what matters. Cameras and phones tell porkies - unfortunately different ones! D

More good stuff. love the technical description eg “bushy bits”. underselling it again. D

Impressive work, Jeff

Looking really good. D

Nailed it again then, Jeff?

I’ve never thought lovely blue skies were the best backscene option given UK weather but looking at your most recent post I think in this case the greater contrast with the viaduct will work. The lane is looking really good. D

We’ve had a similar weather change herein Motherwell

A lovely “summery” shot for the solstice, Jeff D

I don’t have any experience with point rodding but did recently do battle with Modelu guttering/down pipe fittings. They are wonderful products but oh so tiny. I could not have managed without my illuminated magnifying lamp. You are braver than me to take on this task! D

The second shot works better I think. It does better justice to your hard work. D
