Result - nice shiny brass door knobs! Is there something you want to tell us Captain? Do you spend your free time, when of course your not muddling, sowing lace dolleys. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The station building is receiving a light weathering, some of which is going to be knocked back a little, having given it a few hours. It still needs signs, a couple of drain pipes and door knobs. I'm thinking the heavy cast iron type that are about 2-3/4" diameter. That way I can use the old dodge of track pins, unless anyone knows of a better way? Great modelling Rob - love the weathering on the roof 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post MrWolf Posted June 23, 2022 Author Popular Post Share Posted June 23, 2022 (edited) It's taken a long time to get here. Mostly because I keep picking this model up and putting it down again. I'm going to have to sum up the courage to prise off the wonky waiting room door sign and refit it!
