If you can walk away from a landing, it's a good landing. If you use the airplane the next day, it's an outstanding landing

Great little scene. I like the ruts in the track. Nice back drop too.

Thanks folks! I must admit that (painting figures aside..... :evil: ) I really enjoy creating the scenery, and weathering it so it looks 'lived-in' as it were!
The piles of rubble are thin cork (old underlay for N guage railway project) crumbled up and glued, and the lengths of timber are plastic card cut into thin strips.
I have found the other shots I took of the scene, showing the reverse angle:
