The thing with modeling is sometimes things go right or you run out of glue or anything you need. .Seems to be not around. So do something or get a beer and sit down. That is when you get the best ideas.
You get times when one action spawns ten things you don’t need but it works out in the end. Think you have done the right things and walk away, do somethings and come back later. I have used ID backscenes and they are very good. My backscenes are a bit lower but I used a factory chimney to cover the break between two types. BTW glad you rethought about the lights in the factories, just worried you will now have to think of a new video as “how to fit lights to building now I have glued the buildings down…” may no longer be made!?
If it helps I tested inclines for days before starting Westfield IV. A 1.5% slope allowed 8 coach Steam trains, 2% allowed 5 coaches. Diesels do better.
Things are coming along. that corner trim on the building looks pretty good. if you are looking for something to work on while waiting for the mail may i suggest doing some weathering on your rolling stock? The coal cars could use a layer of muck. 👍
You can practice on almost anything. Cheep toys, plastic boxes. 3D prints, model car kits from the thrift stores. Just have to remember to trust the process and that its going to look bad until it dont. Just find something to practice with until you feel comfortable with the process.
I like what you are doing to your layout 😂

Thank you. That’s really good to know. I’ll see what results I get. 👍
Is there space for a nice rural junction station on top of that section you're extending out?
That’s an interesting idea. I think there might be! 👍

Thanks. I’ve watched a few videos around weathering rolling stock. I’m just a bit nervous I’d mess things up….. 👍
