An 8th scale model of the revised layout

It's very rough, but is has helped me with some construction ideas.

Stage Left

Stage Right

Frontal View

There still needs a few of the ancillary buildings to add (sand house, lamp store, etc.) and I might add a bit more detail on the buildings (like the openings to the running shed). I can also continue to play around with the sighting of trees in the background as well as the front. The single tree in the front is to act as a viewing break. Overall though I feel it has been a worthwhile project as it gives me a good idea how it will look. 

After looking at the model a few times I'm beginning to think I've set proscenium pelmet too low. Something to consider possibly altering when I built the layout, me thinks. 

I realise that the inclusion of the shed plate on the model will be contentious to some, but in my alternative history Rospeath Lane would have been 83G. Time will tell if I'm brave enough to keep it on the finished layout.
