Scrolling through pictures of layouts on the internet this little scene caught my eye.
I think it is really nicely balanced and lifelike. Maybe needs a few workmen around but l like it a lot.
I may try to replicate it when I rebuild.

A great scene - just a few workmen. It's the sort of scene that would have very little going on - a hot sunny afternoon.

A lovely scene.
It reminds me of in the South Wales Valleys.

Managed to find the burnt out guards van last week.
It is a start to replicate the scene when I start re building my layout.

Very nice, the kind of result I aspire to.

The pic of the brake van reminded me of this at the Caledonian Railway.

An arson-hit 1940s brake van in Angus is getting ready to rise from the ashes following global backing.

Volunteers spent £5,000 and four months painstakingly restoring the 1949 LMS brake van and work was completed in December 2014.

The vehicle went back into use almost straight away but its new lease of life was shortlived when it was set alight in April 2016.

Of course the toe-rags were never caught.
