Pretty nice little scene David, and evenmore so, because of the scale. Love the stone walls .. nice detail and colours, and add much to the rural affect. It feels a bit odd though, having stone walls to contain animals, and then have train tracks running through this area ... tracks would usually be fenced off, to not allow such. Stone walls are cheaper (natural resource), but a lot more work, so wouldn´t be used in rural areas to close off train tracks ... fences and bushes/trees would more natural.
Two things that stand out to me, that may need touching up in the scene as is, is the joint in walls, and the rail tracks appear to be floating a little.

Great little dio. Is that Churchill tank an Airfix kit. I remember building that about 8 years ago. Don't think I ever finished it though! Love the figures and the layout is spot on.
Well done

Ya the churchill is airfix i built it about 2-3 years back.
the wwalls came from a scene i saw in band of brothers its seems to me that they had quite alot of these walls running along side roads in Britain but i could be wrong.
Thanks for the comments guys

Hi David,
Great looking scene like Frank said even more amazing that it is in 72nd scale. Just fix up the joint in the wall and you will have the icing on the cake
