Mock ups of the layout
The dike represented by the right hand block of wood being manmade has steep sides so take up little room.
Trees as wind breaks would form a major part of the back scene.
The short goods train is in the fiddle Yard.
Behind is a local road represented by a block of wood.
Further back is a garage either for the coal merchant or garage mechanic
and to the right is the crossing/ground frame hut
possibly the location of a senior porter dealing with tickets and parcels.
Further back still are bins for coal and the halt.
