Yes, it did! I liked the photo - the scene looks incredibly realistic. Lots of inspiration, Larry.

You've puzzled me here. No matter how I read those words, I don't know what you are saying....

Well, I thought the photo looked great and hit the “like” button.You've puzzled me here. No matter how I read those words, I don't know what you are saying....
But then I understood you to say you’d knocked the shed off the baseboard so the “like” seemed inappropriate!
The poor goods shed has been through the wars, but at least it bounces!

In my view the photoshopped/re-sited cattle dock looks better as it keeps all of the goods yard traffic away from the passengers and is now looking more like a country terminus.
I presume parcels can either be loaded from the station platform (as there is a double gate on this side of the station building) or the loading dock where the wagon is standing.

The cattle dock on the end of the road there works for me - its a bit Moretonhampstead looking
I believe that the access to cattle docks was, where practicable, kept pretty much separate from the general good facilities.
Such beasts are big, easy to spook, and hard to herd when they are spooked.

Goods shed is safely away from stray hands and elbows! After laying yet another new siding spaced away from the running line to give the signalman a clear view past the goods shed, I discovered it wasn't necessary!
Above is the latest view of the good shed....
Limited view of line from signalbox at Lechlade. It was the same situation at the Fairford. terminus of the branch.

And spookily, that's exactly the position the cattle dock was in at Bodmin North. Makes sense to have it there. When the livestock traffic disappeared, the dock (without) fences was used to load barrels of presumably oil and other liquids.

Slow progress is better than no progress! Really enjoying your endeavors, Larry.

Spot on Mike and thanks for the tip. Gate now in place. At this stage, the coal yard was still at the bottom end......
Bringing the coal yard closer makes the yard look longer and barer, and adds to the rural nature of the scene IMV...
Naughty point rodding now disappears inside the coal bags hut.....
A general view of proceedings....

Hi Larry, I am really enjoying how this layout is evolving. It is fascinating how the smallest details can add so much to and about a scene.
