Having acquired some warehouse card buildings from Mountain Goat, a bit of 'fiddling about' to get some to fit in the required space.

The small building at the end of the station building has been removed. Cobbles in the process of being laid.

Two views looking towards the new warehouses taken from Sovereign Street Station. Now (hopefully) giving a more enclosed feel to the station area.

It looks real because though it may not be superdetailed, it has consistency and the right amount of clutter. It makes scenes with a realistic appeal and feel. I like it. :) It is not easy to achieve consistency, but when it gels it looks real.

I also have the remains off some plastic buildings which someone can make use of. Nothing special. Just things too good to chuck but need a little work and imagination to bring them to life.

Thanks for your comments, M G and Blueberry. They are much appreciated.

With a board four feet long, I am trying to a feeling on the Sovereign Street section of being enclosed and surrounded by warehouses etc. Land in a city centre is valuable and there fore I wanted the station to have a 'squeazed in' feel about it.

Here is a picture of the 'other end' taken from The Bridge.
