Platforms finished and a few passengers turned up

Also Garryshane school across the way is open.

I like that school building - might double as a railway station. There’s something Clifden, Ballynahinch (Co Galway), or Mulrany-esque about it. 

Where did you get it?

I will try to lift it and see if there's a marking on it.

[Gabhal Luimnigh]

First attempt at ground cover, I will add some more as it dries and I have another look tomorrow, phew

 

Added a few gravestones and gate piers too.

Really coming together now Denis. The bit of colour from the ground cover really brings up the layout

[Gabhal Luimnigh]

Jaysus it swallows it up Derek

[Gabhal Luimnigh]

Added some more undergrowth, trees, figures etc., it's time consuming but satisfying at the same time.

[Galteemore]

Worth the effort - looking good

No worries. If someone goes to the trouble of posting  the results of their modelling, I think it deserves a response!

Jesus, Mary and The little donkey! You are flat to the mat. You are another of these fellas who doesn't bother with the whole sleeping and eating lark so? Same as @Patrick Davey Layout looking amazing. Keep it up (but do sleep occasionally)

If I don't keep at it then it won't be finished, as Bertie said, lots done and more to do!

[Gabhal Luimnigh]

A few more pics from tonight, erected a few electricity poles and some more ground work, just a couple of scenes too.

Thanks Noel, getting there slowly.

Great progress like the freight yard

[Gabhal Luimnigh]

Cheers Bob, I'm liking it myself, I think the new foreman will keep it in check

[Gabhal Luimnigh]

Broe bridge is getting traffic

 

[Galteemore]

Very nice. Sets the era very well 

[Rob]

Great progress- well done.  Looks great

[Gabhal Luimnigh]

Set up a few scenes today just for a taste, an RPSI tour arrived at Knockseo this afternoon and also some passenger traffic joined it at the opposite platform, the goods yard was getting busy too, enjoy.

The 8th

[Gabhal Luimnigh]

Had a half an hour after work so started on more ground cover

I will have a better look tomorrow when the PVA is dry

[Gabhal Luimnigh]

I need a little help here, I have a spare piece of ground and I don't know what to do with it, I could grass it or stone it but I think I have enough of both, any ideas or pointers lads?

 

[Galteemore]

Small factory ? 

[Broithe]

Permanent way yard?

I could but I would have to create another road bridge, there is no access unless I make a false access road from the fascia board?

What would I put in that yard? Would it be a road type surface or gravel? Good idea by the way.

[ttc0169]

Scrap yard?
