I finally got round to adding the soffit brackets to the entrance of the station. These were laser cut from toughened plastic resin and cut from a plastic sprue. So far 20 have been produced and stuck in place. The side ones will follow later. I used photos of the station as a guide and the positions seem to be OK so I stuck them only to the walls to allow for roof removal.

They were all painted Midland cream as per the colour scheme in the 1960's. You can hardly notice them as they merge into the stonework. In the present day building they are painted Midland maroon which would stand out better on the model but I am trying to faithfully replicate the original.

I will next be working on the station forecourt and bring that to life with a range of painting techniques.

For comparison, I have included some pictures of the present station building
