Thanks for all the answers, passed me right by up to now.The early risers have beaten me to it. There were several varieties of similar appearance with 'dimple' bodies.
I didn't want the cattle dock to stand out like a sore thumb, hence the use of dark colours....

Hi Chris, yes I did notice there were similarities when I bought some W.Region colour albums a few years ago. I liked the back shunt at Bodmin where a B-set could be held over.Morning Larry, there's a lot to be said for muted colours IMO. Makes everything settle into the scene.
I do really like the views at the far terminal end of the station. The parallel lines and walls and dock are very reminiscent of Bodmin North, on which my own 7mm effort, Pencarrow, is based.
Thanks Gismo. I was never a layout man, preferring to be a workbench modeller. But when my late wife retired, a layout in a shed seemed like a good idea so that we would be together. As things stand, I dip in here and there as the mood takes me. At the mo, I am agonizing over the colour of a Pagoda Shed......What are we modellers like.......Wow Larry the layout is really coming together now and have to agree that the dulled down colours do make a massive impression on the overall scene and atmosphere.
The rate of progress has to be compared to Andy Peters but please don’t follow his trend of ripping it all up once it’s finished
Agree, but they are a tad too close. Would be difficult to do wall repairs in real life eith them that close.I like the coal office near the weighbridge (and therefore also close to the yard entrance).
I may be wrong, but I would assume that the railway also liked such an arrangement, as it prevented coal seeking customers from just wandering around the goods yard.
Like seems somehow the wrong…
You've puzzled me here. No matter how I read those words, I don't know what you are saying....Like seems somehow the wrong…
