Small, low buildings that don't overpower the scene add to the illusion as well. Rob. I took a leaf out of your book with my own layout, the only two storey building is the crossing keepers house. It does perform two functions though, one is to hide the exit to the eastern fiddle yard and the other is to give a sense of place, even if it is borrowed from the Shropshire & Montgomery Railway. This will eventually be balanced out with a stand of trees disguising the exit to the western fiddle yard. Rob 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That suggests to me that they had been gathered together for a specific load to which the cupboard doors were particularly suited. Sugar beet, perhaps? Six wagons, out of only 7,000 built (there were a quarter of a million dia. 1/108, by comparison) turning up in one place at the same time, just has to be more than coincidence...

The wagons are unusual as they were built for use in France after D Day. This photo is also in 'Diesels in East Anglia.' Just wish Dr Allen had dated his photos as they are a fantastic resource for East Anglian modellers, particularly of the 50s and 60s.
