A tad more

I removed the Neothlic urns and like the scene better; it melds with the backdrop and is consistently thematic. Might become a sheep pasture (need more sheep) or a cow pasture (I have a few cows on hand, but I like sheep better for Welsh memories).
The archaic gate ruin is moved over to Sir Wormwood's site. It ties in nicely.
A long-awaited project, the creation of an 18th-century trackway. It is so cold that it is taking longer than usual for the plaster to set up. I remember these from childhood days in Devonshire, perhaps? Dartmoor? I was amazed, even then. More British ingenuity.

Some wonderful work going on.
I really like those thatched cottages, did you make them ?

Thank you for your kind words. I will readily confess I am no craftsman. The thatched cottages are easily obtained, to you locally. The white one is a Dapol kit and the yellow one is a Hornby prefab.

I enjoy how trees bring texture to a layout.
Reverend Farnsworth takes a hike along the Dartmoor tramway. That would be a mile stone, upon the left.

An older video, replayed. I am about to dive in and give the track a good cleaning and see what can be run.
