Hi all,

Done a video to show the layout a bit better, did a bit more scenics and tested the layout with DCC program to make sure it all worked.

Hello all,

Finally done the job I really hate and got the ballast down, I used fine ballast this time compared to what I used on the last layout it looks much better and more to scale, so happy days.

Also added more green to the sides and redone the grass to the middle I was not happy with the first results.

On the last picture there's is a bit of moving about, I will be doing that area another day.

Thanks for looking

"How green is your valley", looks more like Wales! :lol: Wow thats a lot of green :D
It's looking good, I really like the deep contours, not often seen on layouts.
