There was a bit of a step-back this morning when I decided to completely rebuild the waiting room. Looking a bit messy after removal...
New sides were made and after the bother of a hip roof, I decided to alter the ends to take a gable roof...
Back together and the gents toilet added. The ladies toilet is behind the partition in the waiting room so that all the plumbing is together...
The waiting room door under the canopy can be seen. I left space for the decorative corner stones ....
Parts of the floor were cut and glued in to make the whole building more rigid while leaving room for my hands to fit glazing...

This is as far as I've got and going today. Giving the old eyes a break now. Remainder of canopy now in place...
Unlike on the 4mm version I built the back wall as well. If built as designed, the middle wall would be inside a vestibule and so there is no decorative detail. Some spare window detail was used to made an entrance surround, not that it will be seen....
No door on this side of the canopy because it is the station masters house, but I thought it would look neat if a fake surround was there...

Hello Larry. The hipped roof puzzles me a bit - it doesn't (currently) have the overhang that the 4mm version had - it would look better to my eyes if it did?

Thanks for posting the picture Paul, which is of particular interest to me at the present time. I noticed the decorative bricks beneath the roof are 4 bricks high. On the model they are only 2 bricks. Roof overhang plus guttering would have cut across the windows and so I cut the hip roof back. The roof will look more like when I add gutters. Either that or a massive rebuilding.....

It now matches the gable end and to me looks as it should do. Sorry for the extra work, but I think it's worth it .

The local Rhuddlan Model Shop is so chock full of stock that the owner had to point out a wall full of Evergreen extrusions that I must have walked past scores of times. Just the job for some guttering. I glued a length of 3.25mm wide channel to a piece of 60 thou Plastkard ...
When set, I rounded off the leading edge to make it look like half-round guttering, added a pelmet and glued the rectangle in place to form a false ceiling under the canopy with gutter on the end... Decorative angle brackets will finish this part off after being painted....
When the top is painted Dirty Black it will look like a gutter...

Special thanks to Paul Tomlinson for posting a photo of a real GER building, which prompted me to do better....

Hello Mr G, it’s all looking good again Sir.
Rhuddlan Models is a great shop, it’s always a stopping off point if I am passing that way on the A55.
Best regards

Been suffering with my eyes......Too much computer screen. Anyway, I've done the ridge tiles. Took all day. I placed a piece of card behind the 'legs' while Evostik Impact was applied, then the legs were folded over and pressed firmly in place....
One corner done....
Two corners completed plus the cap in the top.....
Card representing lead flashing for drainage and weather protection against the wall.....
