Thanks, would you be able to post a closer photo of the weathering that has been applied on the wheel tyres and axle ends?

Looks good. Which weathering option did you opt for with TMC?

65837 (early BR crest) and 1010 sound fitted now showing as in stock on the Oxford web site.

Thanks for the update @Paul Cram. That's great to hear it is coming along. I would love to see some progress photos if you have any.

That could well be the case. I have a colour photo of Horton in Ribblesdale station masters house dated August 1958. The woodwork is clearly a very similar if not the same green. However, Askrigg Station also being in a similar green would suggest otherwise! Horton would clearly have been LMS or BR Midland region and Askrigg LNER or North Eastern region. Hawes is not so easy to determine. This web site is also an interesting read: https://www.stationcolours.com/lms

Yes, I'm not sure the reason for the green. If you go through the album on Flickr, Askrigg is of particular note as the station building is partially in the NE region blue, and part in the green. I have a colour photo in a book showing Hawes in March 1959, a week before the last passenger train - the green in the photo of the signal box was present on the station building then.

This colour photo on Flickr may be useful. Taken in 1963, probably around the same time as the black & white earlier up this thread. It shows the green (rather than NE region blue) used. It also looks like the lower door is completely in the green, rather than being cut across by the level of where the green changes to white/light creme. https://www.flickr.com/photos/irishswissernie/42823047722/

@Clive Mortimore having found this thread four years after the most recent post, I was wondering if the project progressed? I'm considering doing a 4mm model of Hawes myself, hence stumbling on here. I'd noticed from your drawings that the you have the door side of the signal box five windows deep (including the door), but should only be four? I've also found several colour photos of Hawes including the signal box in the 50's and 60's and the area you have in the drawings as the NE region blue looks from the photos to be much more pale, and I'd even suggest it was more green than blue.
