Oooh one you do not have to crane your neck
But see we did a similar wall just in different materials
There wasn't any or barely any in the early 70's
I agree 1970s would not have had much if at all, and if you want a graffiti or mural free era you have picked a good one.
My mural wall can only be seen if you lean over, as you walk up it is invisible so can be photographed without it on display, so I get the best of both worlds,
As for your layout it has a great industrial feel building up
I'm visiting UK in 2 weeks for a week. I'll be staying in Gatwick than heading to Southampton for a cruise.
Someone near Gatwick has schedule a full day of visiting layouts, train ride and of course a pub with fish and chips....lol
All be careful the wife does not flash or carry too much expensive jewellery I have been reading of thefts from suitcases and all sorts, much prefer you were safe nd had good things to say about your stay here, not nice shiny watches either!!!!
In fact wear a shoulder strap handbag (not you! The wife!) and have a coat over it.
Not out to scare you, just want you to not have your holiday ruined.

I decided to work on my third building for the modules.
Something completely different.
This time, I'm covering the cardboard with pieces of embossed brick sheets and the rest of the area will be covered with AK Concrete,
This is a first look, but needs refining, such as sanding and leveling near the bricks.
Let me know what you think, thanks.

Also working on push buttons for my tortoises.
That's it for May and June is as busy.
Almost done with the walls, next will be the seems and paint before doing the suspended ceiling and floor.

Done.
It has a total of 20 lights and added details. I also made him a grain car (first attempt with decals).
Now, back to my layout.

July, August and September were very busy, but not much train stuff happening.
July was cutting down a 7.5' by 65' Maple as it was getting to dangerous for the house, plus another three. A total of 43 cords of wood and 10 full days of splitting.
August was rebuilding my deck.
September was finishing my crew lounge for anybody that shows up to operate.
Now I deserve a break, so heading to England for a week and coming back with a Cross Atlantic cruise and when I get back, it's layout time.
CYA all later.

Nice CPR paint job on the walls of the crew lounge…
I think I have to redo my deck roof next spring…I replaced it in 2011…
Looking at all your maple cordwood and all I can see is a pile of ibuprofen…

I do graffiti, but those are murals, some may argue that is semantics

Oh I hope you have a great time, red the fish and chips - now be careful to try a bit of vinegar on the side, we love it, but I admit it is an acquired taste, our family from Hungary were not impressed with vinegar, although they really like the fish chips and even the mushy peas, again NO vinegar.
We are not south, be careful with your phones, the SE (‘south East especially London) is a notorious phone snatching area!
you’ll see ours are a lot smaller than yours

First, I had a great time in England. We stayed in a quaint little town.
We got pick up at 8:30am for a great train day. We rode 4 different steam locomotives till 4:30pm and then went to a pub for fish and chips.
Couldn't resist and bought a European steam loco.
Barely did any work on my layout since last December, but I'm back.
In the mean time, here's a picture of my layout and the only thing added was the sky. Enjoy.
