Must say I'd very much like to see work in progress photos of the fiddle yard wiring etc. It's something seldom seen but to me of interest and something we all appear to attempt in different ways.

Dave, it may have been a couple of weeks, but it amounts to approx. 60 hours. We had the 4 day weekend which helped.

A couple of weeks ago Tim asked if it would be possible to build another station building for Beaminster based upon the architecture of William Tite. He followed this up with a visit and the loan of three books to give inspiration. I've just completed this building based on, but strictly not a model of, Axminster. It's got the Gothic style gables and sandstone blocks which appear to have been used fairly extensively in Tites buildings. The model had to be made to fit Tims existing platform which is already installed, which meant it had to be stepped at the rear to bring the public entrance down to road level. Whether it gets used on Beaminster depends entirely on Tim and how it looks when in place.

And finally......

Ready for Tim to try on his layout in the morning

A version of Downton is already well under way, hope to post an 'in progress' pic later today.
