Nice build. Is that what the building looked like that your Paternal Grandmother worked in?

Thanks Curt, as best that I can tell from old photos it certainly has the styling of the old shop.

Behind the station I needed to create a road on a gradient of 8%. It has a length of 23 inches and a rise of 2 inches. I toyed with the idea of Woodland Scenics foam roads but the steepest I could find was only 4%. In the end I traced the grade out on paper and attached this to some foam and cut that with a sharp knife. Once it was glued in place I used a skim of Woodland Scenics Smooth-it.

Here are a couple of little scenes I am working on.............the old stables next to the cemetery where the landlord of the George Inn stores his beer barrels and Carter's Coaches next door to ER Allen the butcher.

Great work Mike. The shop fronts take me back to the 70's when I visited England and Scotland.

Wow , Mike the structures look great, I watch BBC's Escape to the Country as much as I can and your buildings remind me of all the villages in the episodes of that program.

The temptation to start a British layout is so much , but alas I have no room left.
