A (nother) China Clay layout

Other than some random stock and a few half finished buildings, I've made precisely zero layout progress in over 12 months!

Well you’ve been distracted (and I know the feeling!). While I’ve been doing a few house things over Christmas, some plywood offcuts are slowly becoming baseboards. Only the end plates thus far. Knocking up
Some ply girders to come next...

I'm aware of the errors but as I said in my last post, the overall look is more important than total accuracy.

Markings are a mix of Modelmaster, Fox and Railtec.

What did I learn from this model? I used etched wheel irons for the first time and, unlike my as yet unpainted Dapol brake van, I replaced all the handrails with wire and what a difference it makes!

In other news, I also cut some wood for a one piece backscene:

Any questions or comments, let me know.
