Not much progress to report over the "summer" - I've been mainly tweaking the electrics & running trains.
I did add astrip of scenery along the front edge & up to the school: (apologies for shaky pic)

And I've started on the area north of the station, beyond the road bridge. I cheated with a Knightwing signal box as it's such a decent model. Still not sure if there's gonna be an engine shed, (which would be really stretching reality as the nearest one was at Wigan Springs Branch and was considerably larger), or a small industrial plot served by sidings... I do like the idea of an engine shed though, & have installed isolated sections into the siding (another siding still to lay)

- oops, roof's on back to front! (it's not glued on yet)
By the way, have any of you made an interior for the knightwing box? I looked at the Wills whitemetal kit, but £13 for something that won't really be seen seemed a bit much. Also not sure if it would fit. I was thinking of just making a dummy frame from styrene rods etc, and placing a figure in there. Any thoughts?
