Further to Ian's suggestion of adding a pub and the fact that this is a smashing idea I have added a couple more suitable Bachmann Scenecraft low releif buildings next to the bonded warehouse; one being the 'Waterloo Taven' and another being what was originally a garage, but I have removed the petrol pump and branding but haven't touched up the paint work up yet. A small alleyway is between these buildings behind the gate.

I have also removed the platform from the bonded warehouses to lower them in height and also due to the fact that I am locating then facing on to a roadway rather railway line.

I have also made a start on the inset track with check rails glued into place and infill with cork starting to be laid. other than the middle of the track itself a second layer of cork is still to be laid to raise the height to rail level and then be painted concrete.

 

The other main building are starting to take shape in the form of a quayside office building and a further warehouse (still needing its platform to be made) these are the excellent products from Lcut Creative.

In this last view for now, the small engine building can be seen to be taking shape from a Skytrex resign kit.

Further ground cover will be added once the top layer of the inset track has been finished using modelling clay to represent earth mud and ash type ballast.

What did you use for check rail...

 

Just found the answer after reading further on...

 

Nice little shunting layout

Glad you found the answer. Just for completeness I describe my method for the inset track on my blog here https://grahammuz.com/2018/02/16/a-view-from-the-line-18-inset-track-on-canute-road-quay/

When I researched the history of said lager for archaeological purposes (we found some crates of it in a wine merchants' shop bombed in 1940) I found that Allsop & Co had vans branded for it, one of the few genuine brewer-branded vans I'm aware of.  Is the tanker based on a real wagon?  Just asking, not criticizing!  It was rebranded as Skol in the early '50s.

I'm glad you've moved that big blue thing. It was blocking all the light in the bar!


Sorry Landlord, at least your beer supplies are sorted!

With one eye on the Guinness Six Nations a little shunting takes place at Canute Road Quay this evening. Via a few iPhone snaps. 
For better pictures check out the April issue of BRM Magazine.
