Nice to see that Hornby are producing the Camping Coach access steps as part of the 2014 range: Just hope I can squeeze them in as I wasn't expecting them! They are also doing Camping Coaches: No good to me though as I've already got 3 Bachmann ones! I'm sure I read somewhere that head come with the access steps.

Usually we tend to put up prettier pictures. But there had been some comments on how interesting it was to see the ripping out of this area prior to this rebuild. Therefore if anyone would like us to show more of these rough and ready pictures of how we do it, please shout out so we know they are of interest. Keep the pics coming, they're great to see. You're doing a great job

Do you use different lengths? Was thinking about 2mm & 4mm?

Can I ask which static grass you use? It's on my shopping list for Warley!

Looking superb Jaz, nice work mate. Wish I had the space to do the water area properly! The whole thing is coming together really nicely.

Great thread this, thanks for all the useful posts on here. I'm looking at getting some static grass but having never used it before I haven't a clue which ones are best quality, best value etc. Has anyone any recommendations? Many Thanks

Thanks for this Davel, installed two "homes" this afternoon, both worked fine, then after a few changes, the motor turned but the arm didn't move on one of them. A few "flicks" seem to have done the trick. Fingers crossed this isn't a regular occurrence!

Cheers, I'm really pleased with how the platforms have turned out, thanks for you tips! I'll have a look at the slaters fencing! The lamps are from DCC Concepts, I'm very pleased with them. Think the yellow LED looks good in the small white platform building but looks a bit "green" in the main building so may change for a white one.I can't believe how much fencing there is & how many gates there are!

Still a lot to do, however I'm quite pleased with the platforms & walls. I actually went with the "new Hornby" in the end, but built my own platforms! I have got some fire buckets & will get round to fitting them. Got a bit of work to do for the sleeping coaches, I'm very tight on space so I'll have to see. I've got something up my sleeve for the flower beds, the pots are only temporary!Here's the station from the other end: And the building on the other side: Should really start my own thread!

As you advised on how you did you walls, here's a peek at my efforts!,

You could pass this off as the real thing. This is absolutely brilliant

Hats off to you mate, that looks amazing. Nice one.

I will be using the footbridge. I want to model mine as it is now, will be doing a few "Heartbeat" bits too, ie the Police House. Most of the other Heartbeat stuff is there anyway with the exception of Ashfordly Hall.I look forward to seeing an "original" version, I'm sure Sasquatch will do a superb job should he decide to take it on

mkwolf1877 try exporting it to a folder in pictures that often reduces it Already in a folder but doesn't seem to shrink on the iPad. I'll try from the laptop later. Cheers for the Panaramio links btw, I'm just doing the coal drop ramp, very useful Thank you both.

I've got a pic of the water behind the station but it won't upload as the file is too big! Not much better than what you've found though.

Looking great! You Opted for the new Hornby buildings in the end then?

What you thinking of using for Ashfordly Hall?

I know what you mean about fitting the buildings on, that's the bit I'm struggling with! Trying to keep the "countryside" feel as well as getting the "required" buildings on is a nightmare! Goathland Church as a massive building too, and in reality is right at the other end of the village to the pub, nearer to Greengrass farm! All we need now is for TMC to commission the row of shops lol. I'll be interested to see what you come up with. It's also noticeable how much room the Goathland Hotel takes up, especially if place opposite Scripps as in real life! Went to the Peterborough show on Sunday and picked up a lovely telephone box with lights in to go outside the Birch Hall Inn! Keep up the great work

Well done on you're results, you're layout & modelling are superb.

There wasn't much Railway presence in All Creatures a you've got pretty my a free license for anything Yorkshire Dales! Lovely

"Finghall" was the station used in the show but no trains stopped there!

Don't get me started lol.The vets The Church Probably got one of "The Drovers Arms" somewhere!! I've sunk a few "wee drams" in there lol. Be really great to see someone do a "All Creatures" theme, loads of scope to model it. I'll watch with baited breath!!

Brilliant! I've been looking at the DCC Concepts lamps for the station & already have some "Skale-Lighting" so'll probably use that in the buildings.

Did you replace this lamp or have you put a bulb in the Skaledale one? It looks superb!!

Sorry I haven't mentioned this before, I just presumed you all already knew. The original trackbed is now a walk to Grosmont, conveniently going very close to the Birch Hall Inn en route for refreshments!!I have a couple of pics of the original structures:
