I'm glad you enjoyed the pics, and Thanks for your comments.
The paving is actually just Metcalfe Tarmac Effect Card, coated in a layer of chalk dust and then sprayed lightly with thin black paint from an airbrush. The Baseboard was built up to sleeper height around the tracks with standard GrayBoard (Thick gray card), and then the tarmac sheet was layed in 6cm square sections (A Standard size i found for some concrete slabs - about 30') by pressing the tiles against the track to leave an impression which i cut along. Once glued in they were blended with chalk and paint.
The crane and tipple are both Faller Kits (The crane is part 222137, dont remember the tipple's no.), and the water is Woodland Scenics EZ-Water Granuals, which was poured over a yellowy-green base to give it a dirty industrial feel.
