Another station on the Devan and Summersett
Some fencing - Hornby modified by removing one rail, darker brown paint on posts & smattered over the rails. Dull coating to occur next.

I had a huge stock of different kinds I bought from a shop that closed down.
Unfortunately it's now dwindled.
Very effective on your layout.

Did you cut one rail off the bottom YES and shorten the posts? NO - drilled a hole in the cork & baseboard

and because it is close to the baseboard edge, to protect it from arms, etc, a 1/4" perspex guard fitted.

I do wonder what that guard cost :roll::roll: - here, it would be more than several "Level Crossing" signs but at least it would save having to replace them ………….:thumbs
I like the idea of the cut-down fencing - it looks as if it were specially designed for the situation and far less "overpowering" than the "out of the box" stuff. It gives it a much lighter appearance, looking more like a fence than an anti-tank barricade.

to be followed by another first - a tree and some more bushes.
It has been pointed out to me that the new signs are a bit low so I will have to make some new ones with longer poles.

Not that they will ever be closed but they need to look right - as Ron's do.
As the approach road is already laid together with the track, I may have boxed myself into a corner.

I only look at the picures……………;-)Peter, my last sentence in Post #168 did say , the signs are small so I am in the process of making larger ones.
The buffers are standard Peco ( modified).
Was that sentence there when I first read it ………….:shock::roll::roll: If so ……..:oops::oops::oops: and yes DD, I will try harder !!!
Now - back to the dishes Petermac and only speak if you're spoken to !!!! :???:

The b….y camera shows up the pips protruding though the buffer beam so I will have to remove the pip.
