The Thaxsted engine shed is nearly finished. Please bear in mind this is the prototype build and the actual kit has had some tweaks. I'm selling 12 of these kits in total and I've 11 left if anyone is interested.

The railway has closed but British Railways have done a deal with a local builder to rent the goods yard and shed. Part of the deal was a refurb. BR still retaining the thriftiness of its grouping days repainted with LNER brown that they still had laying around....

The signal box for Love Lane is being drawn up by Mike Carless and across my desk today I looked at how to layer up the doors and windows for it.

So door first. apologies for all the finger marks but I was rushing to see how it worked.
glazing slides in.
Glazed door.
5 layers and just 2mm thick.

@Yorkshire Dave sent me some pictures today of his beautiful painting and landscaping of one of my laser cut buildings. The kit was built by @NickDunhill twice I believe as the first kit went missing on its way from Nick to Dave.
Anyway here are the pictures.
