Thanks John very kind of you.

[Tim Marlow]

Looks fantastic Scottie. Always love your gardening on these. The whole scene really gels to my eye....
As you’ve asked though, two minor observations I would make are as follows. The rail side should be more of a rusty colour, and if the track has been used recently the top should be polished. If it’s recently out of use during the hostilities the top would be fresh rust coloured. It would only be dark brown if it had been out of use for years.
Secondly, it’s obviously a warm dusty day, so the half track front wheels should have dust in the treads, but not on the surface...
Really very minor points that only a pedant like me would notice

Thanks Tim, the top of the tracks are polished but don't show in the picture. Your point about the track sides and the wheels are well received I will have a look at them tomorrow. Really appreciate the feed back.

Hi Scottie
That is looking really nice. The 'gardening' is particularly well done.

[Guest]

That looks excellent.

[outrunner]

Man that looks brilliant, although being in the middle of a crossing with the bonnet open looks a bit dangerous.


Andy.

Will agree w/Tim & add, the road doesn't show much use either. Small things on a beauty of a vignette. PaulE

Andy, thanks mate but that's why I set the signal to stop I think.

Thanks Paul, not sure what you mean, or does it need tyre black where the wheels would run?

[minitnkr]

No tyre black. Pavers look pretty uniformly worn. I think wheeled traffic would fill gaps w/dirt/small stones & compact them where they traveled. Just a thought w/2nd cuppa. PaulE
