Scenery has started at the station end with the long siding finished. Shock-horror, the goods shed leans but it doesn't at the front.... Call in Sherlock Jones.... Checked it out and the back of the good shed leans and bulges. Never spotted it before...
Inspiration for this end is taken from Llanfyllin...

The advantage of laying 1.8" cork over the whole baseboard is being able to cut into it and sink buildings. The base was checked with a set-square...
The hut simply clips in and is removable...
Positioned at the entrance to the yard. A rail-built guard will be added to protect the weighbridge. Vinyl grass moulded with a heatgun forms the raised ground onto which will be glued static grass.....

Still watching your continued progress Larry with interest and gaining much needed inspiration as usual. In my humble opinion placing the coal siding alongside the back scene is a master stroke. This adjustment has greatly increased the depth of the layout and taken away the ‘cramped’ look …… now leave it as it is and carry on regardless it’s looking really good .

Thanks Simond. The platform embankment was grassed after masking it off and applying PVA. When dry, the GWR Spear fencing was 'erected' and blocks of wood put in place to keep it upright while glue dried....
Gate left open...
Spear fencing will be erected where necessary ...

It occurred to me that if the slope down to the goods shed was extended to make a side uploading platform, it would be a useful adjunct to the goods facilities. For instance, unloaded heavy farming equipment.....
I changed the pictures to show I liked the wooden 3-bar fencing better. More rural.....

And for other special traffic such as horseboxes or a stores van.
By bringing the access slope forward into the goods yard it also provides a more solid foundation for the station building and easier access for maintenance to the rear said building.

The whole scene is looking very nice, Larry and really says 'Llanfyllin' to me.
If I may offer one, very small and insignificant piece of constructive criticism, which is that the old rail guarding the weighbridge is rather long to only have the two supports, perhaps an additional one in the middle may have been called for? (unless, of course, the prototype is like that!).

Funny you should say that. The guard rail I copied had three supports, so I've just soldered on an extra leg...
