Nice! The gabions are pretty nifty. I've seen them in real life but never on a model. (Never knew the name for them either.)

I like the way these home made stones are weathering, starting from the cliff & working outwards

Don, I like the stone weathering. I have many such natural weathering "experiments" on my outdoor layout. However, mine is covered up when (and if) snow happens. Nice photos and I get a warm feeling looking at the freezing white stuff.

The outside railway has been subjected to a light weathering overnight

I don't mean to be a party pooper because the snow scenes are pretty but what do they have to do with fine modeling? -- Russ

I feel that if one wants to pay attention to detail when doing
background scenery it enhances the whole, which even the weather can emphasise.
A railway on sticks as it were, in the snow is just that
( not knocking anyones choice here just my personal viewpoint in my personal circumstances) .
A railway in a flat landscape can dissappear completely like under a blanket.
but a landscape with vertical features etc can cause miniature snow drifts etc.,
Ok, so if you lived where you get 5ft of snow, it would not make any difference.
But where I live we rarely get snow. Although I have to say this year we have just had a fortnight of snow & freezing temps to follow.
Just drove the car tuesday first time since friday week. couldnt get to it for the treacherous conditions underfoot
