Early construction of a simple 00 garage layout
This week I have been mostly making a access track for Farmer Jack…Using various products from the Woodland Scenics Fields materials, I built up the access track using some photos of real tracks as reference. While an old non-working Lima HST sits over the occupational bridge.
Found an old "silver" gate which temporary sits at the access to one of the fields until I can get my hands on something a little better. Need to make some footpath directional signs to point people in the right direction once they leave the footbridge.
As always comments and suggestions are always welcome.

Re the gate matchsticks are a good medium for making farm gates.

Thanks for the idea of the match sticks Brian. I may give it a go! I've started work on the field this evening, my plan is to make it seasonal so I can change the look throughout the year.

The tractor is one of Oxford’s and I was surprised at how cheap it was… £6 I think. I just need to get a farmer to drive it.
Sorry Kevin, I read what I wanted to read. I saw the word Cattle, all livestock movements will be down the track and under the occupational bridge. I don’t have space for a livestock bridge unfortunately!
Most of the time I’m having fun, Haha, tonight I had to stop as everything I tried to glue down decided it wanted to stick to the tweezers or fall over and I was getting exponentially annoyed!

Train spotting from the footbridge at Teasel Bay station (The DMU driver was fired shortly after due to complaints by passengers by the sudden stop!)

And I think sudden stops are going to be the curse of railway modelling til the end of time
