as Blair ,said looks great Dave,very nice detail,and like the coal stained ground as well, ;)
 
I'm not really a train person.....But, I know a good model when I see it..... and that is a cracking job Dave....
 
Wow!! I really like it!!!


Very cool. Excellent and inspirational work ;)
 
Good work. Can I suggest you add a few people and some lighting to bring it all to life.

I am not really a train person but got into it from wanting to model scenery I have lots of spaces to fill with little dios. Like these.


I think a small boatyard is required just beyond the coal yard but I think that will have to be scratch built.


I have figures to add but they are modern image workers that need painting to suit the era but I won't add them till all the work is done or they'll end up in the


vacuum :( .


Thank you for the kind comments.

Looks great but is it not missing a crane. I sure wouldn't want to shovel that coal into the wagons.
 
Great work as has been said I don't know a lot about trains but I know a great model when I see one.

Not necessarily it was cheaper to have manual labour I've heard of ketches being unloaded by a two men and a boy between tides around 100 tuns of coal. But that being said I have seen a nice kit for a yard crane.

Very convincing Dave, excellent work.


Re. the boat yard, how about a simple dry dock area? One small lock gate, a simple open roof canopy, the dock all dried out and a narrow boat inside being 'Re-Blacked'
