A decision has been made regarding the layout's timeframe and I have opted for a bleak, grey winter's day in 1984. Of course, George Orwell writes of a bleak and grey world in his dystopian novel Nineteen Eighty Four, and this can be mirrored in the industrial grunge of a narrow, concrete/rusting tin rail corridor. The only splash of real colour will come from a series of (first generation) tags/bombings on those vast, grey canvases. I would also like to play around with creating puddles and the judicious use of a gloss finish to achieve a particular "wet look".
And there we have it, the model railway as Art modelling social commentary (he says, tounge firmly in cheek).
