Thanks for your comments guys. They don't look too bad now it's dried out properly.
Had another go today on another section of the layout, these were a slightly thicker paper and seem better to me.

Backscenes looking good and blended well with surroundings - always helps to have a stunning Deltic in the photo frame.

Indeed, to that. The nifty little fold in the back wall is a splendid touch. I do have trouble discerning where the layout ends and the back drop begins. The Deltic, too, is stunning.

Hi guys,
Thought I'd run some trains today, however it turned into a track cleaning and loco maintenance day.
My class 68 looks like blown another decoder and 2 class 37s needed some tlc!
I keep thinking I should have a route maintenance schedule, at the moment it tends to be run till it stops then do it.
Just like the real thing lol.

Just a quickie of my class 60 being refueled
Next project/headache is going to be to sort the station out.

As you can see, needs a lot of work. Needs a rethink altogether.
Watch this space.

I think you will find that run till it stops is not unusual Phil.

Still waiting on the back scenes to arrive (postie strike not helping). Still plenty to do as you can see. Ballasting maybe next job, anyone fancy that job I'm happy for you to round and do it, no charge :D

I find ballasting quite therapeutic and no I won’t be popping up to your neck of the woods :D
