It's coming together very nicely, Brian. The cutting looks good - perhaps some more tall grass and bushes are needed here and there, but it's a nice spot to view trains passing by and it has got the makings.

That mill scene is quite different - very atmospheric. I would love to see it in reality.

the plan is for it to go here up against the viaduct with the phone box covering the gap

As for the New mills I have warmed them up so I could curve them to match the backscene so all been well they will fit flush
I have also made a start painting them

the brick mill is getting bigger just sat in place at the moment

The idea appeals to me, even though they're just flat gables. Can I suggest something? Put them about 10mm from the backscene and fit the suggestion of a roof. Even if you incline it at an impossible angle such as 70 degrees it would make a difference. Trees on both sides would screen them off from the backscene. Rob Reinders of the Dutch Group did something similar to his hotel on the Austrian diorama 'Dislbach'. See photo.

Hi Ted the mills is glued to the backscene so can not move them out.
But I will be adding slates to the 2 parts that are gables ends hope to do that tomorrow which is the last day I will be doing any work on the layout before the Rainhill show

tedp · November 26, 2015, 10:06

Oh - I see. In that case, probably trees on either side would help anyway. You might suggest a flat roof on the centre portion by adding a bargeboard or a ledge along the top edge. Not sure if that's an architectural style in the area you're modelling. But you've done it on the brick mill building at the other end.

Good luck at the Rainhill show. Should be great fun, I'm doing a small local show over here on Saturday.

heres the roofs on the gable ends

the car is loaded with the layout's 1st show

But I was hoping to double stack the crated boards but I need 1 inch extra in the cars height to do so. So I now can only get myself & one other in the car
Its will not cause any problems for operating the layout but will mean My son Dean can not go along as well

saying that next year I hope to be looking for a newer car & it will most likely be bigger that the car I have now

Brian Mosby · November 28, 2015, 20:06

Now home after the show the drive back was wet but stopped as I switch off the car so it was a quick un-load to get the layout back in the house before it started again

here are some photos from the show
