RMweb Premium skipepsi Posted February 4, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 4, 2016 I wouldn't tell you to change anything I haven't produced anything better. I might suggest a drystone wall to hide the over hang on the class 37 rather than a fence or you might consider a single track mainline to give yourself more room for sidings but it is for you to decide which direction you go with your model.

Mike Storey Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Very good photos of your layout, which looks pretty complete to me! One thing you might want to try, if you want to do more to it, is weather the track. Experiment on a small area, until you get the effect you want. You will find this really lifts the impression of the BR blue period you want. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
