Thanks Dave and everyone. I went off a colour photo of Llanfyllin station. It's so simple poking PVA into cracks with a very small brush, then sprinkling on short static grass of choice and sucking the grass upright using a vacuum snout. I have an old Dyson for the job.
Thank you very much Rob. The Laser Cut kits do not represent anything in particular and so they lend themselves to easy adaption. Spare sheets of brickwork are also available.
The overall balance visually is much better with the shed on the station building side IMO.
The Shipston' buildings are fine models and it is a shame they are not used. On my layout, I can see trains the length of the baseboard from a sitting position, whereas the good shed used to block my view as well as cast a shadow.
Yes, Larry. I have been sorting out the S-on-S buildings today and will bring them back to England. A nice small winter project, perhaps, for me to tackle in England. We now have the space, at least I think we do!
A balmy place amid sun-scorched grass. No passengers to worry about.....Just the Dean Goods rolling in to knock a few wagons about for 15 minutes, a cup of tea, then off back down the branch. Peace....
I have a picture of the finished layout in my minds eye. Slowly but surely it is taking shape. As you know, I like coaches and so I can look at them dotted about in sidings.
