You really want the lights shining up and reflecting off some tin foil.

I think the problem is that the clear LEDs I had available were designed to give a slightly focussed beam - in some areas a pool of light is exactly right but here it's not.
I think I have some prewired SMP LEDs somewhere which I used to good effect on Shaddeholme - if I can find where I put them I'll give them a try as they tend to spread the light a bit more.
Must plant some more 'weeds' as well.

Looking good there Steve. I think that the weeds certainly add to the scene. Nice one.

oddly enough its an issue with LED street lights, that they give a more focused pool than the HPS fittings they replace leaving odd effects in places where the posts aren't spaced closely. I have no doubt you will find a solution

Hopefully the SMDs will solve this - had to order a batch of pre-wired ones on eBay as there were none in my bits box. Waiting on a slow boat from China.

Planted some more weeds and added some of the detail bits bought at Alley Pally.
Hornby also replaced the J83 that was running poorly. The new one is a better runner but does suffer from poor pickups on just the front and rear axles, so the slightest wobble breaks contact. Seems a lot better having polished and cleaned the backs of the wheels though.

There’s a space next to the goods shed that needs filling - cue coal staithes from some liberated coffee stirrers.

Those stirrers look to be perfect for the task. Nice effect. R-

Had to double them up as they are a bit thin on their own.

Any excuse to have another coffee.
Looking great though.
