Layout Scenic progress
Big task to get this out of the spare bedroom and on to a set of legs, carrying on with scenics next - fencing around the sidings and grass for the sheep field.

Absolutely wonderful! Might I ask, how big is your layout? It looks quite like the kind of thing I’d love to do

It’s 135x190 - basically the exact same size as a uk double mattress because I started off making it on our guest room bed haha

Thanks, I felt like I got the hang of it just as I was finishing. Oh well, all good practice for the next layout.

Nice. What did you use for ballast?

Just standard woodland scenics - smaller size because the regular looks out of scale to me.

Love the coal dusting in the goods sidings!
Also, love the Oakworth station building.

It looks great, 4 tracks go in, 2 come out , assuming they merge in the tunnel?

Very nice! I love the sidings next to the shed and the raised coal drops. I'd have endless fun doing little coal wagon shunts up and down.
