Thanks Jan,

The carriage is a Ffestiniog  model by Peco. 

Looking forward to the new season on Sunday?

More progress on the layout. Crossing gates and fencing have been added. The shepherd and his faithful sheep dog watch over their flock.

Good morning from the UK. Wet and windy here. The last model train exhibition we attended was Tonbridge, Kent.
A 5-hour drive on a Friday afternoon to set up for Saturday. A lady (day job with the BBC) took a video which is going the rounds. It gives a great insight into the model railroading scene in the UK. If you watch it you might catch 6 minutes of an interview with yours truly on the subject of my layout "Norge".

Here is the link.   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Ny83fNcLqU

A few more pictures of the farm. The chicken module has been planted. There are horses in the paddock behind the stables. The rape field disguises the join between the baseboards.

Thanks Dave, Mark, Bob and Greg for your very kind comments. It is much appreciated. Unfortunately I could not do a build on the structures as they were constructed when the site was down. The farm buildings are kits from Scale Model Scenery.

The flocked sheep are from WW Scenics. Unpainted 3D sheep, a Pro Grass Box and some white, black and biege flock.
The sheep are painted with glue and held by a clip over the box which has a small amount of flock on it. The box (powered by a 9 volt battery) is switched on the flock is attracted to the sheep. Baa!

I will post the flock sheep once I have finished with their fields. 

Meanwhile some shots of the farm board which hides the fiddle yard. The green base is the Viessmann pecking chickens
module which needs to be blended into the scene.

The backscene has been applied. I am happy that the far corners of the layout are rounded for a nicer presentation.

Here are a few pictures of the farmyard, the church and the townscape taking shape.

Thanks Dave, Bob and Greg for looking in. The church is a Petite Properties kit.

Frank the layout will be 11 ft long by 15 inches wide. It is made up of three boards joined with cabinet makers dowels. I am hoping to attach the new backscene permanently over the next few days. Then I can start placing structures, complete the scenery and add the sheep. I have actually flocked the sheep to make them wooly.

I have the little loco from Roco as well for possibly an Austrian layout one day. HOe uses the same track as 00-9. Peco market their track as suitable for both.

It has been a busy week so far. I hope to get more done on the new layout this weekend. The exhibition at Pontefract, Yorkshire went well. Of the 3 cups on offer, Red Hook Bay was awarded two! It made the trip worth while.

Have a nice day.
