Thanks Fair Oak. I find myself moving the goal posts for my modelling period at the moment, which of course immediately leads to too many options and choices! 🙂
I know that feeling well. Some of my planned 009 layouts have changed so many times I barely recognise them 😄
You've chosen an interesting period, not just for the GWR but for the railways as a whole, and with it obviously comes lots of changes in liveries/rolling stock designs/loco details/etc.
It's easy to understand why your mind would be wandering towards a slightly later period and new livery styles. It's nice sometimes to have new variations to think about.

Fantastic build, top job! As for the livery, my vote would be for the full pre-1908 choc/cream. But both livery options are nice and it'll look marvellous whichever you go with 👍

Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year to you Mikkel, and to all fellow Farthing followers!
A lovely little project there. Seeing BRIO brings back very happy childhood memories. Many many hours playing on the living room carpet, building all sorts of lines.
I wonder if I would even be doing model railways right now had I not grown up with all that.
You've certainly had a very eventful year, and here's to whatever next year brings you! 🙂

This is excellent! I love early railway stations, they seemed to combine simplicity with still looking quite grand.
