Your weathering certainly improves the appearance of the 'old' 37, Pete. That overhead view is a bit of a shock! Your photos from the 'shot on the water' POV create such a convincing illusion of depth - your layout can't be just 6 inches wide! ;-)

Very nice photos there, Pete!

When I first saw a schematic of the 1902 track layout at KoL, my eyes watered at its complexity. It's intriguing just how much an actual location can be abbreviated in a model, yet still be identifiable as that place. I believe that your 'sripped down' version of KoL still has a more complex track layout than this side of the real station has today

Many thanks GJ - I see you are a fan of KoL station...me too!
It's a fascinating spot which I particularly like due to its harbourside location (I've always thought that rail and ships were a good mix). I have a sketch of a simplified KoL here next to me (literally on the back of an envelope) that I was mulling over perhaps building at some stage, but I think that in your version here you have managed to distill it down to its essential minimum. Your track looks fantastic; so much better than PECO setrack

Stunning!

Wow - I'm impressed with what you've managed to cobble together with Sketchup. I downloaded it myself with a view to bepoke CAD work for model railways, but got no further than a cursory look at the enormous pdf instruction manual, which was rather intimidating :-S

Great pictures as usual, Pete! I also agree with your sentiment about BR blue. Some manufacturers don't even have a 'standard' blue across their own product range... :-(
