Somewhere SW of London. Somewhen before today

Might look a bit clunky, but brings back memories of living in South West London :thumbs3:

And they don't look as clunky when you are three feet waway from them at a normal layout viewing distance.  They do look "textured" though rather than simply painted and that is was I was trying to achieve.  The same cxonsideration applies to the platform surface and the numerous other concrete structures.  Go back and review the earlier images for now until I can restore those scenes and post updated images.

With the seasonal break now over I spent today’s club-room time making noise!

With only one other member present it was an ideal opportunity to cut down the over-height back panels. Most were simply shorn of their tops but the two already fitted with backscene had to be trimmed top and bottom so that the scene lowered by an appropriate amount.

I then posed the new EFE class 74 for a couple of views and included the blue “Hornby” or class 70 as they are sometimes but incorrectly known.  

Also new are two full houses for the street scene. The previous low-relief ones will be turned to face into the layout offering their “open” sides to the viewing area. The front panel will rise to obscure the view of white resin.
