What a lovely layout, Paul. 

 

Really  shows what can be achieved in a small space. The use and modification of a readily available building is right up this particular sheep's street. 

 

But it is the details that are bringing it all to life.

Don't think we've seen this engine shunting here before, looks really useful though...

Looks like a bit of a gauging issue.

Not done a lot on here for a while, decay has started on he stop block though.

Thought it was about time there was some way of running something, there will be a single cassette that will line up to any of the three sidings. The white board goes under the baseboard with the two pieces of ply holding it up into place, its fairly tight but if I'd does get loose and moves I'll drill a hole through each side to take a pin.

A few photos of how the 2 boards fit together they're a good fit and don't seem to want to move on their own, it they get loose a simple pin through should hold them together.

What a cracking operational diorama that is! I've been thinking about doing something similar myself, and this just adds fuel to the inspirational fire! The simplicity of a 'point-less' layout is a real bonus!

 

It's really the small details that don't catch the eye, but would stand out a mile if they weren't there which really add to the scene (if that makes sense!) And I'm certainly looking forward to seeing more developments!

 

Cheers

Got a bit of work done, a bit of embankment along the back. Probably be a fence running along the top, somewhere we can lean and watch the shunting going on.

And a quick look along the front siding we can see plenty of wagons but no one about.
