The Hollies of course sang my title for this post.
Now at last the glazing can be fitted to the windows. I had already cut these out at 25mm and 35mm square 0.4mm clear styrene sheet when I made the entrance lobby/porch windows.
The immediate concern is window dressing as once the tile roof goes on the access to the inside of the building will no longer be possible.

Because there will be no internal lighting, I decided to apply the three-foot viewing rule to my building here and use 1.5mm thick black card cut into a suitable shape to cover the window apertures and clear styrene glazing by using a 4.0mm wide spacer strip at each side to trap the curtaining.
From these I made combinations using clear 20mm wide gift ribbon, 10mm wide 200gsm paper strip highlighted with a coloured mini felt tip on the edges then PVA glued together before attaching each of them to the building.

The Porch roofs were a fiddly enough proposition, but now for even more fiddly window detailing using Evergreen styrene pieces.
These are pre cut using #103/122 for the window sides and rails and #116 for extending the bottom cills past the stone block work.

When I made the Garsdale Signal Box window modules I used a minimal amount of styrene glue but was disappointed with the resulting discolouration of the glazing. So when I did the station waiting rooms and restroom windows I resorted to using PVC glue with a much better outcome.

Now since I don’t have access to a surgeon’s tools and operating microscope, a fine screwdriver, a craft knife and a #4 ox hair paintbrush will suffice to maneuver the window components into position. This is deep concentration stuff so therefore food and drink will be passed under the door for some time until I can come up for air!

So anyway, starting on the rear of the building and moving left to right I firstly prefit to check each of the top and bottom rails before applying a drop of PVA glue to each corner of the window aperture to secure them. Then the sides and centre rails before finishing with the window horizontal rail and bottom cill detail.

The time approximately per window takes me between 10 and 20 minutes depending on how successful my concentration has been! Having now completed the building’s rear wall my time is certainly coming down. Hopefully my average should be under 10 minutes by the time I get to #42.

Well almost done! The stonework arches above the ground floor doors and windows needed to be carved out from the foamboard carefully using my sharpest jewelers’ screwdriver, then both the arch cavities and the lower window cill extensions were painted accordingly.
