The trees look just right and, with a couple of vihicles in place, as Max said - "Header Nomination" stuff. :cheers
On the first shot of the pair, what's the track we can just see coming in from the lower left ? Is it the end of a siding ?
On edit - no, forget that - I can see it disappears into a tunnel …………..:roll: it's your well documented tunnel mouth - I have to keep reminding myself of the track plan ……………..

The temporary cattle/stock platfoprm can be seen & to the left is the location for Farm & Fuel supplies: a small platform & shed plus tanks to go in. Stop signs to be added to the crossing for the track feeding the Chair Co.

I know you've posted about it before but just remind me - are the control rods for the points under the baseboard or is a groove routed in to the top of it ?

At Charde, the baseboard was covered with 3mm cork so I routed a slot with Stanley Knife. Rods inside 3mm Evergreen tubing similar to this photo from Watchit - the microswitch is not used at Charde.
Now I have started on the small cattle dock - unusual shape as it fits into the road & I have some more road surface to instal.
The dock is loaded via truck backing into it & only half a dozen cattle at time & one cattle wagon.

The cattle dock looks good and sturdy.:thumbs Often, in the countryside, they were very small affairs. Our village had one that held probably not more than 6 beasts in 2 (or maybe 3) pens. My memory isn't as good as it was but I do remember it was a very small dock because there seemed to be such a lot of brickwork, concrete and track for such a tiny usable area.

made from a Ratio kit , the truck to show where it will unload a couple of cows. If stock traffic gets too small, then this will be closed.

I don't know how long the cattle will stay in the red truck. The sides look a little low!!!

Does the Ratio kit come complete with the bars ? If so, what are they ?
Oh - just a thought. Do you have the gates behind rthe truck mounted upside down ? :roll::roll: If you look at the diagonal, it won't carry any weight that way up ……………..:hmm

That Walthers kit wouldn't go down well in UK - there's no roof and it ALWAYS rains in UK.
Nice looking kit nevertheless. :thumbs
