Looks excellent Andrew, you just can't buy that kind of character and weathering for money. 

Incidentally I've been stalking your blog and the WCPR site, I like  those timber-supported water towers and fancy something similar for the sidings at Farthing (originally built by an independent company).

Thanks Mikkel. The water tank panels were from Alan Gibson and I used L and T 1mm angle from Eileens. 

Thanks for that. I noticed that the two tanks at either end of the timberbuilt platform seem to be of a simpler design than the ones by the loco shed, which you mention were a later replacement.

I also really like these on Ashcombe Rd, very nice: http://www.wcpr.org.uk/WSM%20model%202.jpg

Those are just brass and riveted with my GW Models rivet tool.

It looks so great. The disc wheels are spot-on, too.

Coming late to this interesting construction, unfortunately.

Re ex  TVR Coach; I agree that 0227, 0228 is most likely - TVR Diagram 54 built 1885.

However it is NOT the case that  these were the only TVRs with duckets more central - the TVR diagrams  53 (tvr no 030 ) of  1884, diagram 6 (tvrno 242-248 ) of 1898,and diagram 9 (tvr 39 coaches) of 1886-1910  all had central duckets. As these diagrams were I understand produced to hand over to the GWR at the Amalgamation, there are likely to have been other coach numbers earler. Diagram 9 was a full brake - the others had compartments.
