Diorama layout basically complete finished up today adding some fencing around the road and along with that bushes too!

Final static grass application on the diorama layout this afternoon very pleased with the outcome I would like to hear some suggestions on how to improve this scene e.g scenery or things to put on the layout like track workers etc!

As the weather is slowly cooling off in the evenings I decided to place down the bridge section my dad made by scratch building it onto the diorama layout looking great and put on 60055 with some JNATs to show what it looks like! There’s still plenty to do of course
