A photo of the prototype, taken from the other side of the level crossing, shows a glimpse of a small building next to the signal box. Not possible to see what it is for. It could be a lamp store or a privy. I opted for the later.
Telegraph poles in my photograph (right) look leaning more than they do.
On this side of the level crossing the landscape both sides of the railway line is embankment. The grass here is long and dry. This is achieved by sticking old fashioned hairy carpet underlay down and when dry ripping it off. This leaves very high strands of material that is cut down using scissors. A layer of brown/green static glass is overlaid to fill any gaps and tone down the straw colour of the carpet underlay.
The white flowers were taken from an artificial plastic flower and the red poppies are proprietary scatter.
