A few close-ups of the trackwork on my colliery micro-layout.
These photos are taken from ground level from the scenic break end of the scene.
The entire layout is .model.railways Code 75 bullhead rail.

I'm a big believer in spending time on the basics (in this case, the groundwork) to make the whole scene feel as close to reality as physically possible.

A long overdue update on the colliery micro-layout...

More details have been picked out, with the "high-ground" nearing completion. The buildings on the right hand side have had their roofs painted, but they are yet to be weathered into the landscape.

I'm really pleased with the point hand levers in their coat of weathered off-white!

All questions/comments are welcome!

As featured in British Railway Modelling, 'Llandafal' was my lockdown project and inaugural stint into making a micro-layout.

If you like what you see in these close-ups, you can read the full story in the August 2024 issue of British Railway Modelling!
