Dave. The surprises were the water and also the 'slogan' on the loco's windbreaker. These were the only features I didn't take pictures of during the construction of the diorama.
Sorry if you expected summat a bit more exciting.... :sad:

No apology needed Ron. That's a stunning build with or without surprises.

Hi Ron,
Stunning build, amazing and poignant blog. Enjoyed immensely. As a former railway modeller, not seen anything better.
There was a re-run of 'The last days of Steam' on BBC 4 this week, lots of shots in Barry, interview with the owner, very nostalgic look at the final rundown of steam.
Cheers and stay healthy
Alun
