An escape hole for point rodding etc has been dug beneath the signalbox. A short section of platform was removed and the work carried out indoors...

During this process the platform was shortened by 4 inches. A key tool used when erecting fencing etc is a set-square from a Christmas cracker...

Steps down to the goods shed were added along with GWR spear fencing (Ratio 434). The post was made from sprue...

The station buildings were moved back closer to the buffer stops earlier in the week. This area has been patched up ready for fencing and hedgerow etc...

Seeing as BR's painters never touched the goods yard, the fencing remains GWR light stone. It was sprayed with Phoenix Precision enamel Paint and needs weathering yet...

Steps down to the goods shed made from 80 thou Plastikard...

These small modelling jobs run into weeks, but maybe it is because planning is on the hoof...

The back wall was put in this afternoon using Hornby Skaledale. The road reaches a pinch point behind the station buildings so it will be disguised with trees and bushes. Note the white painted cornerstone that protects the fence and road vehicles from coming a cropper. The vinyl grass was shaped with a heat gun...

Fantastic work going on here Larry ….not that we would expect any less from you good Sir. ;)
That wall along the back scene gives some much more depth of field to the whole scene. You seem to be enjoying this build Larry and long may till continue :)

This view was only made available to a camera by removing the goods shed. I think the pinch-point in which the goods yard lane is cut off by the station building has been disguised....

I really wanted a bush here so I will have to look at what is available...

A general view, although IMO is is still looking too 'clean'. All the buildings remain removable while I' dealing with the scenics...

More gardening & planting. Tractor tyres, lamp posts and seats required to complete.....aye and folk...

Grass growing wild where the ants planted it and the sweeping brush misses it. Also tea stain from years of chucking it out of the window...

More wild grass, some of it dead for whatever reason...

Hi Larry
I was under the impression that there weren't any and that's why the station closed.:(
Rather like the stations on the SVR before preservation. I like the effort to keep the atmosphere alive on the SVR and your modelling.:)

Regards
Allen
