4mm Cwm Caradoc

[Quintus]

Having a general tidy up of the railway room a few months ago, I re- discovered my 4mm EM stock that had laid in the cabinet for around thirty years.
The EM layout had been sold a few years ago, along with some rolling stock, but a good few items remained, including locos, rolling stock, and some buildings.
A quick try out of the locos confirmed they were all in gwo, and it seemed a shame not to do something with them, hence Cwm Caradoc was born, a very minimal affair with a scenic area of 4ft. The layout follows the theme of the earlier layout, based on the Tanat Valley, but this time a through station.
Progress has been good, currently I am working on the scenery, and hopefully all will be completed in time for its first outing in November.

Any chance of a trackplan or wider views?

Clearly not Jazz Trains, wrong company, so must be "nice!".

Many thanks for all your likes and comments (in both languages!)
Virtually the whole layout can be seen in this photo

The blades of the turnout bottom left in the top photo can be seen in this photo of the "exit stage left" bridge, which carries a defunct N/G quarry line.

I am thinking the surface of the goods yard is a little too smooth and regular, but I think something like silver sand may be too coarse for 4mm scale. A few puddles also required.
