[mike]

I've just sussed why the photos of your railway look so good mate (apart from the great modelling) - it's the fact that the natural back drop looks so convincing. The 2nd photo looking back from the signal box and the 8th at the platform, the background of the real roofs and the hill top is spot-on. You'd really struggle to get any sort of printed backscene to be that convincing.

cheers mell, it was intended to use the natrual background as much as possable, not the fensces
. break in the weather today..got the new station toilet block installed ..

Those covers for the buildings are a good idea.

I thought that was the case Mike - was just hoping you might have given a preview - my Garden Rail did arrive (eleven days late - but enjoyed reading it) so, by normal calculations only two weeks to go!
