Chalkdon progress!

I am beginning to sense I might actually finish this layout of mine! Unbelievably more progress with some ballasting and scenic work having been done.

Ballasting has been carried out around the station platform area having glued the platform in place last night. I just need to do some scenic work where the ballast meets the two gardens and the platform itself needs some additions to make it look more like a station!

On the main road the road has been taken over the tracks so that the 4mm road users can drive off the layout. Only thing is that it s about a scale 200 foot plunge if they do! Again, there is further scenic work to do.

At the cattle grid some hedging has been added making it look a bit more as though there is a reason for it all. I need to repaint the road between the cattle grid and the bridge as the grey is too dark.

Meanwhile, to actually find out how near to finishing this layout is, the WMD drone has been out.

Analysis of the photos does indeed show it is getting near to being finished. Knowing me though I will now be distracted onto another project!
