After Lanfaire show the work could start in earnest as i was able to buy some suitable windows of my favourite german trader..
As i can then work out spaceings ect..cut the holes out...
1st trail fit ..proped up..it will actually be closer to the edge with a narrow single track road in front of it .
The upper windows give a clue(right hand side) as to the finished hight re a loading dock to that railway sideing...
Garret out on test..why not

I am in awe of your patience and commitment to get things exactly how you want them. I am sadly lacking in both departments. Fascinating to see the progress.

For the avoidance of doubt (or sniggers); in foreign parts a rubber is often called an eraser!
