Fencing at Roseville Station finished.

Even from the other side of the bushes a train is not easy to see. Just how I like it.
The scenery came first.

Your fellow with the wheels in the last picture Glencairn reminded me of an old black and white film documentary I once saw on the telly, it was about the building of steam trains and sets of railway wheels on axles where rolling along the workshop floor. A workman dressed very like your fellow was changing the direction of the rolling wheels with an iron pole. Set after set came rolling towards him as he clipped the ends of the axles levering them with the pole to send them on there way, his timing was spot on each time but it looked a very risky adventure.
There is always interesting things going on in your pictures Glencairn keep them coming.

It does not take me long to do five minutes work.
Nostalgia is not what it used to be.

Hi Puddles. Glad you like the pictures.
Days gone there wasn't the hue and cry over 'elf'n'safety as nowadays.
Things just got done.

Just my unorthodox type of modelling. Sometimes one cannot see any trains running; just fifty shades of green.

The times I have travelled on a train and everything is overgrown, especially north of Ladybank.
Not everything is 'prim and proper'. Not here anyway.

Your pictures really do show how you blend the layout with the backscenes very well. BB

Thanks for your comments BB. I try to make the layout look bigger (hopefully) than the 11ft by 8ft it actually is.
