Afternoon all - it's a lovely day here in the UK...
The signal box is getting there, with the second of two coats of green paint having gone on this morning - it looks like it will take four though...
In the meantime, here's a preview in the form of the little shed. I finished painting, weathering and varnishing it this morning, and could think of only one sensible way of delivering it - by train, of course...
Here's the cheerful little ensemble awaiting the off at Trefechan, confusingly consisting of two vehicles both numbered "4":

In an attempt at culling my stock and making some money, the well wagon actually ended up on the second-hand stall at Exeter. It's lucky that it didn't sell, because the hut wouldn't have made it through the tunnel on an ordinary flat wagon:

And a ground level shot of the whole site (inspired by Rob R's recent pics), with shunting in progress to reform the train for the return journey...

Pictures of the signal box soon!
Enjoy the sunshine,
