Re: Somercombe. Burnt figers.

Spent yesterday evening soldering up some benches and luggage trolleys. All from Langley, set 129a, LMS seating and trolleys. At this scale they look good enough for me. At least they are not GWR cast ones.

This morning decided after painting them, to get some figures painted. Didn't realise how quickly time was slipping away. I started just before 10am and was a bit surprised later when I looked at my watch, 15:30 Good job today is a rest day. With the Gent's open to the elements, it needed a figure.

Obligatory Nestle chocolate machine on the platform.

A couple of porters going about their jobs.

A view along Station Terrace.

A handful of people awaiting the Exeter train.

And now I ask advice. I am thinking of putting up a small canopy over the entrance. Nothing elaborate, just big enough to cover the door along to the window.

Maybe sticking out about 6 scale feet.

Decided to make a small canopy.

It bugged me a bit without it and browsing the A Modellers guide to the Southern Region, I can see that most country stations had some form of canopy over the entrance.
