I particularly like this picture, the most 'natural' in terms of viewpoint of the set I think. The exquisite detail just merges to give depth to the whole. Just lovely.

Thanks Adam,
Over the past few weeks much detail has been added, I started off by butchering the old Ratio weighbridge hut from Penhydd. Its meant to represent a ruined hut serving the same purpose near the disused quarry entrance.
The ruins poking through the undergrowth
In the meantime Iain kindly produced some warning notices for the quarry gate.
A pair of wicket gates now stand beside the goods yard level crossing, a new farm gate replaces the one that was broken by one of our grandsons and a little more detail has been added around the coal yard which includes coal, cement sacks and a wheelbarrow, the hut beside the signal is meant to be an S&T store
.
Other details on the platform include some fire buckets, a trolley and a Nestles chocolate machine, I never did work out where to kick the damn things for a free bar.
The lamps are a mix of Chris Leigh castings bought god knows when and Ratio post from their swan neck lamps, the lantern glass being from offcuts of flushglaze.
Only a few figures to paint now and the whole saga will come to a close.
