To those of you who have said such nice things about my layout in the past, I'm sorry I haven't posted for a while. I've been busy with other things, like becoming a grandad again and other everyday life stuff. Meanwhile back in railway land i've just started finishing (?) the platform, with paving slabs in the area of the station building, coping stones along the platform edge and I've armed myself with a container of pepper! to do the rest of the platform surface; if it's good enough for Gordon Gravett, it's good enough for me. Eventually, as this is supposed to be just after WW2, there will be the traces of white paint along the platform edges, as I understand this was done during the blackouts to prevent people falling on the track, though I don't know whether the black out restrictions applied to stations in such rural areas - perhaps someone will enlighten me.
