Well, things are progressing in a steady but unspectacular manner. There's a little more ballasting done, a simple sky blue backscene is in place to hide the storage sidings and I've added the last bit of rolling stock that I definitely need.
The bay platform's reason to exist and only possible use, and auto-coach, hauled by an auto-fitted pannier tank (I did check that this class was auto-fitted, but it may be replaced with a 14xx when Hornby release it later this year) waits for a signal:


It may be waiting a while as I've not built signals or a signal box yet! The photos give two nice view of the platform shelter, which I'd not posted a good photo of before. I didn't realise until I saw these photos how wonky that first lamp post is!
I've also been detailing around the engine shed, as it had a dropped-in-the-middle-of-nowhere look to it before and would have had a large empty space next to it that needed to be filled with something:


The wheels are off an old wagon, dry-brushed with dark brown and two rust colours. The barrels are brown dry-brushed with rust colour while the pallets are my usual wood technique of brown drybrushed with Revell Wood Brown. I'm not 100% happy with the grass, which I was hoping would come out patchier and less lush but my spots of glue must have run together. The backscene will be blended in with a fence and some bushes.
