Good work. Can I suggest you add a few people and some lighting to bring it all to life.

I am not really a train person but got into it from wanting to model scenery I have lots of spaces to fill with little dios. Like these.


I think a small boatyard is required just beyond the coal yard but I think that will have to be scratch built.


I have figures to add but they are modern image workers that need painting to suit the era but I won't add them till all the work is done or they'll end up in the


vacuum :sad: .


Thank you for the kind comments.

Looks great but is it not missing a crane. I sure wouldn't want to shovel that coal into the wagons.

Not necessarily it was cheaper to have manual labour I've heard of ketches being unloaded by a two men and a boy between tides around 100 tuns of coal. But that being said I have seen a nice kit for a yard crane.

Very convincing Dave, excellent work.


Re. the boat yard, how about a simple dry dock area? One small lock gate, a simple open roof canopy, the dock all dried out and a narrow boat inside being 'Re-Blacked'
