Both grandsons are very keen on me getting on with this project but (very) cold weather this weekend meant that I didn't get that much done. The road crossing area has been built from some balsawood and coloured with washes.
I have also played around with some paper profiles in an attempt to get a workable building. The engines will enter in to the engine shed (right) and exit around the back. Getting the correct positioning has been challenging as I did not want to have the three part building dominate the layout but at the same time I wanted the engines to enter the engine shed, disappear and then re-emerge around the back of the extension.
Here is a better mock-up built from foamboard and balsa with wooden scraps used for internal support.
If the weather is better this week maybe I will get around to adding some detail!
