I posted on a status update yesterday, that I had lost a component, that pinged off my workbench and through a conveniently-placed wormhole to Tharg, the home world of the Zillons.

That component was one of the finials on the roof, which had already been glued in place.

Repairing it wasn't going to be the problem, but finding it was impossible. It is still out there, in the wormhole, hopefully giving pleasure to Midland Railway-modelling Zillons...

Anyway, after a false start last night with some 1.5mm plastic rod, I managed to turn a new one up from some 1.5mm brass rod on the electric drill (yes, the lathe still isn't installed at Kernow Towers..... )

(both finials are actually parallel, the distortion is due to the camera lens)
