A bit more rolling stock has been added:

Together with stock of a different kind:

After much grief, the railway now has a viaduct.
Yes, I know it doesn’t currently go anywhere, but it will eventually carry the narrow gauge railway across the main tracks and through the wall.

Unfortunately, the tracks around the curve had to be moved so that the longer carriages could pass under the viaduct without hitting anything. I’m just glad that this was done before more scenery was installed.

 

 

I’ve finally improved the two tunnel entrances. Still not perfect, but better than before. With a bit of weathering (and some rocks/grass), I think they’ll be OK.

All the baseboards at the “country” end are now covered and the station finally has a platform:

The country station now also has a goods shed:

The railway now has a signal box

I’ve installed lighting inside, but as I’ve not decided where it’s going yet, it’s not actually wired in..

Update: The signal box has been moved to the “Country” end, and lighting installed.

 

I’ve now covered all of the main baseboards – it’s all rather plain at the moment, but should provide a base for future development…

I didn’t quite get the Mimic Panel right first time, so I’ve now modified the right hand half to match reality.

This is the revised layout; the large red circles are buttons to change the points, the small red circles are indicators for the point state, and the yellow circles will eventually indicate when a train is occupying each section.

The points at the right hand (‘Country’) end can also be changed via the hand-held controllers; this is a help guide that shows what number on the controller corresponds to which point:
