Thank you Ian. When I was working , I didn’t have much spare time, now I have loads of time! but no structure , no timetable to work to. Best wishes. KevinLast edit: by Passed Driver

I've just read through the whole thread for the first time and I'm very impressed with what you've achieved. You've obviously got an eye for detail and there's a consistency to your modelling that brings everything together.
I shall look forward to seeing more photos.
Regards,

So, concerning the layout itself, I am now in the process on filling in the access gap. This area is used to access the hidden sidings under the tunnel/hillside. I need to retain the access, so the infills need to be hinged/removable.
The one on the left is hinged, the one on the right is completely removable. I covered the boards/framework with a Javis grass mat, which i then covered with static grass and a variety of flocks. When its finished it will hopefully complete the appearance that the railway runs through the scenery. The original gap was a little unsightly!
Before:
After: Stage 1 - main structure
Stage 2: Static grass/flock
Stage 3: Blending in higher fields and toning down track colour etc. The section next to the nearside wall is removable (seen on top of the takeaway tubs in Stage 2) to allow the board to hinge up.
Next phase is to add a few bushes/shrubs and more livestock. I have enough sheep so will probably go for cattle this time.

And finally, my very first, fully completed brass kit - Falcon LMS Horsebox carrying my scratchbuilt magnetic coupling system I am developing.

Good luck compressing the scenery - I have seen some great layouts making very good use of forced perspective!!!
