The last few weeks have been quite busy (including being in Wales for a week), but we have made a fair chunk of progress:

Looking from Kingston Lisle (foreground) down towards Uffington (shed). The wood has all been coated (some of it needs a second coat). You'll note the trackbed is complete going into the shed on the left.

A closer look at the triangle. The track will be nominally laid on the blocks; the crescent area to the bottom of the picture will be planted with small trees, allowing the train to snake through, while the area closer to the shed will most likely be a farm scene.

Looking the other way (past our very patchy growing grass!), the boards of Wantage station are mostly ready for track; these will be fronted with a small picket fence or similar. The pond has been dug out and started again. I've laid madoc blocks around the front and a small wall down the back; these will take the spoil and then liner. The bridge was to be a viaduct but will not be slightly different - time will tell....

Finally a shot of the steaming bay area. There will be some 16" OSB on top of the posts against the wall, giving a two track steaming bay - in time this will become a shed scene. The running line comes out of the shed and curves around towards the triangle area.
