Just about finished the new layout's Station Building. Built from a Heljan kit, I think it looks reasonably good. I originally was going to change the rather distinctive roof supplied with the kit, but, after trying a couple of alternative arrangements decided to stick (sorry) with the original.
There is obviously some compromises, I could have made the doors and windows from scratch but that would have added a few more hours to its construction.
The photos show the front elevation, the canopy has to be fitted to the platform side in the top picture.
The pic on the left has it fitted roughly in place although the glazing has to be toned down a little before final fitting.
Well, another long weekend, taking my granddaughter to the show at Woodgreen today. There will be miniature steam engines as well as Trains, hopefully it will stay dry.
Looking forward to seeing the murals on the walls of the inside of the hall. These depict life in days gone by and actually include the names of those depicted. I am always fascinated by these, I exhibited there some years ago with my daughters Tri-ang TT layout and have been a fan of this venue ever since.
It is unfortunate that it is a three day show, commitments won't allow me 3 days out.Hopefully a chang next time when I hope to have some live steam pictures.
