The backscene at Clarence Dock area before I started.
The views now
Overall view
Trains are running to Clarence Dock
Figures will be added as when I have sorted them from a previous layout. I do not like horse drawn vehicles to be in one place all the time. I like to move them around to give a little variation to scenes.
Having the competition has given me the impetus to get the scene done. Many thanks

Wow, that is a dramatic improvement David. Well done!
Here is where I am at with my entry. The tower is painted and assembled. I did not follow the instructions to the letter, in part because some parts were missing from the kit (I guess that's the price to pay when buying from the used bin at the LHS).
Next step: final touches and weathering.

Ok, so I am pretty much done with the coaling tower project. I usually don't "do Internet" on Saturdays, so I will post now. I still have a bit of weathering to do, but it's pretty much done. I used cheap craft acrylic paints, that I airbrushed prior to assembly. Some touch-ups were still required after the parts were glued together. I also weathered using craft paints, with a combination of washes and drybrushing. I still need to add workers and signs - I don't have these on hand so it will have to wait. It is one of the last structures I needed to complete before the scenery work. Like most of my other buildings, it will be held by gravity and will be removable from the layout for scenery making and maintenance. That's the plan anyway...

I posted this picture in the WPF thread. The church just fits in the area at the curve of the track that has been sitting there for a long time. I was unsure what to put there, so when this thread started, I decided to try it there.
I'm still going to add a cemetery and some grass and trees.

Though not technically part of the here is an overall scene of Clarence Dock and where the new backscene etc. joins.
To all that took part (even if you haven't finished) I hope it 'brought you back to the hobby'. It got things done you have put off.
Some excellent modeling by all. There are no losers. You are all winners in your own right. Well done.
David, thanks for doing this.
A ferw light poles were added for the service crews:
