The station is excellent, Dave. I like the contrast of the wooden structure against the stucco style of the main buildings. Hoping to see more developments soon.

Yesterday saw a little bit more done. A start on the scenery behind the track at the warehouse end, a new brass column for the water crane and a slight nod to the safety elf outside the warehouse office.

Progress with scenics behind the dockside. Rocks carved from foam and sealed with Matt medium that isn't very matt yet still loads to do.

The 8.30am to Shrewham is due to depart, but there's no apparent rush to get aboard.
Ready for the off? It's market day so there's an extra coach.
At last...

Arriving from Shrewham
23 stops at a seemingly deserted Shelton Bay
Then departs for Langston Ferry
There's still a lot to be done, fine detailing, weathering and general fettling, but Shelton Bay is now more or less what I had in mind. Thanks for all the likes and encouragement.

Thank you, Dave, for the pleasure of allowing us to follow the progress of a narrow gauge layout so finely modelled. I hope we may see more of your work as "fine detailing, etc.," progresses.

Despite attaining the official title (according to the kids) of "Tw'early Crumbly" on Thursday, I have managed a little bit of modelling.

A Dundas Vale of Rheidol coach kit turned up in a box yesterday, when I was looking for something else. That's now been built and given a waft of primer. I'll paint it next week when I've decided on a shade of brown.

Painting almost finished, glazing to be done then the roof can be fitted properly and details added, but the first summer coach is almost done.

I was outvoted by the board, who went for Vallejo Sky Blue over Prussian Blue.
