Hi Blackrat, I'm undecided about the window surrounds! I might just try some 10 thou or thinner plasticard cut to shape and glued on top of the brick. If I bevel the edges slightly and blend it into the brickwork it might save me hours of cutting out! I think some experimenting is called for tonight. Best wishes Dave1 point

Like you, i also have a fondness of William Clarke's buildings (the station buildings themselves rather than goods sheds, etc). Whether it is the ornate chimeys or not I don't know, they just somehow "look right". Sounds like the old Eric Plans that used to be marketed by Peco I think :-) Ian1 point

Looking very crisp, Dave. I agree with you about plastikard, if I was doing mine now that would be the preferred medium. My old edition of the Karau book - not the combined volume - has the plans to 4mm scale on fold-out sheets, very useful. Flicking through it the other night it occurred to me that it would be fantastic to have an entire book of such plans, of all sorts of structures.1 point

The mains electric trains used a light bulb to reduce the voltage. However slight problem when there was no current flowing no voltage dropped across the lamp hence 240volts across the rails. That would make those kids at exhibitions who cannot resist touching the lines sit up sharpish! Don1 point
