'Alicthug Embankment'
Alicthug Embankment is my first diorama. I wanted to build one to see if I enjoyed it as an exercise in showcasing trains and wagons - I did!
Alicthug Embankment serves to display my rake of Cumberland Granite 5 plank wagons. It's also got a few stray sheep that seem to have lost their way.
It has been a well-received partner to Brocolitia in exhibitions and shows
