OK, I admit it, no progress for a long time.... too much time spent on the Electronics to blame, plus uncertainty as to how to start the scenics.
I was given some building kits of rmy birthday last year; that has been a trigger to get started. the website now has sections describing how we constructed the backscene, and added the start of the terrain around Clanfield. This includes cuttings alongside the main line, and a removable hill.
Clanfield station has received a design change. Previously it had three passenger tracks; possibly slightly overspecified. One of these is not an access track for a goods spur, down into a factory complex away from Clanfield. This will be just a single track allowing goods to be delivered and taken away. I have the factory building; we'll probably call in "Gales Brewery" even though it doesn't look much like the real thing.
I've never constructed a building kit before. I have a few Metcalfe cardboard kits; these are very well detailed. I am constructing low relief shops at the moment for the Clanfield area. we'll try to make the fronts look more like real shops in the village.
There is a need for more electronics for scenery: to turn lights on and off in buildings at set times, and operate motors. A new DCC decoder for this is on its way from CML.
