Another station on the Devan and Summersett
Wayne, the balsa on the lower side that butted up to the plaster was a bit too thin & in an attempt to get a curved road surface/contour , it was not fully supported & using water based paint first cause it to bow - dried out & not too bad. The other side was thicker, fully glued to the cork & I varnished it first to seal the grain ( I made sure is was a close grained balsa - denser) & that looks OK. Yes, I will continue with balsa even though I won't have the proper contour - I may try to sand it a bit to give the contour.

I know you've done it now but would you consider removing it and have the access parallel to that running line? Where it butts up to the baseboard end could be masked by trees or a building.
Alternatively run the access in at platform height.

While such a road may not exist in real life in the UK, it certainly does in my local town, the main road going north leaving the shopping precinct, cuts right across the track at the platform end with road access a bit further around then curls back behind houses. The rail line continues on to the Barossa region for a daily stone train.
While my track stops dead now, I can have the story that the track did go onto another station which has since been closed with the track removed.

There are, of course, many ungated and unprotected crossings in the US and apparently in Australia and elsewhere, I was looking at it in terms of pre BR and GWR practice.

All signs were of course, removed during the war but quickly replaced afterwards.

If the first formal signs would be likely required, if the second 'Beware of Trains' could suffice.
And in which country is the S&D?-that would affect the type of sign.

My learned friend, the Rt. Hon. Member for Wainscott may well be right (:oops:). If not exactly "modern" they are from the 60's and not the 40's.With due respect to my friend, the Right Hon. Member for Bergerac… them is modern signs! Time to do some web searching for the 40s and 50s…. I'm on the case!
I'll look into it along with you - first with an example buys the next round ……………….:cheers

On the D&S ( based loosely in the UK) the road is a public road with the private part going behind the platform.
