This is from last Friday in the heat.

Looking through an old holiday photo album I came across a couple of photos of an Intercity 125. I believe these were taken at Starcross in 1988.

Back scene came yesterday so the diorama is finished. I have cut out part of the side scene where the tunnel entrance is so if I want to I can add a fiddle yard. The lamp posts are each powered separately by there own individual 9v batteries

Looks like some satisfying modelling! The scene is simple, but still with plenty of atmosphere; if anything, the lack of locos and people adds to the feel.

Are you planning to add a backscene? I'd also suggest adding some puddles and detritus amongst the ground cover, when it comes to it.

Thanks!

Yes, I will be adding a back scene. I haven't thought about puddles but will have a look into them.

The hill is progressing well

Since I'm not having to go to work at the moment I've a bit of time to kill so I've started a 2' x 1' siding diorama scene.

After seeing 60009 UoSA passing through at Melton Mowbray I decided to hang on for a bit and photographed 66732 passing through.
