Coal Merchants Office

My most recent project is not very ambitious: a coal merchants office for the yard. It is based very closely on the Scalescenes kit, however I modified the window to suit a prototype I found on the far right of a picture of Kings Heath Station, just because I liked it. I realised having completed the build that it is quite similar to a OO gauge kit given away by Metcalfe on the front of the Railway Modeller a couple of years ago. The brick work is just the Scalescenes original however I put the arch in over the window using The Gimp. The roof is home made from a photo, squared up and joined in to a larger sheet also using The Gimp. The chimney pot is a white metal casting from Langley. I can only find the OO gauge ones on their web page but I picked the N gauge ones up at a show. The gutters and down pipes are Ratio. The overgrown ivy is Woodland Scenics.

The coal merchant will fill a gap at the back of the yard.

The lettering, shouldn't it all be upper case as I have read elsewhere on here that lower case on shop signs and the like only started to appear post-fifties.

I will check that. Thanks. I am not 100% happy with the lettering anyway. I think I probably should have used a serif font.
