Welcome to the forum Adam, a lot of work there - my only suggestion would be maybe road markings, probably essential for an urban setting?

Looks like the Jinty is pulling a consignment of track rubbers!

Like the tyre markings coming out from below the archway.

Enjoy the build!

Welcome Adam. You'll find a friendly atmosphere and plenty of support here. No matter what the question, someone will have the answer. 

If you're planning to take your layout out to exhibitions, it might be wise to consider some form of lighting for it. Some locations can be a bit dark and won't show your work off to best effect. Even a simple wooden batten supported at each end a couple of feet above the layout with some LED strips glued to it will make all the difference. LED strips of the sort intended for under-cupboard worktop lighting in kitchens can be had fairly cheaply on-line and they usually come with a power supply. Go for 'warm white'.

Best wishes

Alan

Always good to see someone posting their modelling. Add some Irish scenic touches like phone boxes etc if you can to help finish it off.  The station building has the makings of a GNRI prototype. And please keep posting !

I love the elevation differences between all the buildings- I find I’m often more immersed in layouts with different levels. Not that I’d ever take my own advice lol.
