Hey steve - just to state the obvious in the name of being kind to fishes - make sure you wood preserve the harbour well before you put it in place - assuming it goes on a pond with fish that is! BTW cheque should be in post tomorrow....

yes will do as i didnt know tht i didnt put wood pervseve it!! lucky tht i ave no fishes in!

yr item is going to be wrapped up with one free surprised in it..
lucky tht i didnt realised when my 2o tonner went around the tracks while i sort out the harbour and i nearly knock tht loco over just near went to the pond:-

what if knock over and fell in the pond...it wont work at all.....got aa insurance for layouts!!

nico -i thought this station was actually very close in overall shape to yours, board and batton, NO corbels _its newer_, offset chimney, business like mineral red

some more repair done,got the splits sealed and added wood to the bottom,in the second picture it shows where i then sealed with a mix of sawdust and glue

 

[nico]

got some cans of paint in lidl and was wondering has anybody used them on buildings or stock and were you happy with the results

.. sawdust & glue - you're not in ther antiques business by any chance?

With regards to the Lidl spray paints, I've no experience of the laquer (I was going to buy sone then I thought it might be too glossy for I wanted), but I have used their other spray paints both on a heated towel rail and the spare wheel bracket on the back of the car - both items weather well after a couple of years.

As I type this, I'm waiting for the first coat to dry (refurbing the microwave where the turntable ring has worn the oven bottom). Good stuff but just check its suitablility for particular plastics - you might need a primer.
