Garden Railway Forum

Well the building has just been lacquered inside and out with the traditional cream paint. Firebuckets have been made and painted.
The roof tiles have been ordered. It proved to time consuming on this occasion to cut them out as what I did on my Tanygrisiau station so completion is not far away.

Well its back to the cutting board as the tiles I bought are undersize so Im painstakingly cutting individual roof tiles from 20 thou plasikard. Its progressing well!

Still cutting out tiles !! I have a stiff neck ! Ony about another two hundred to do!

I can confirm that there were toilets at Tanybwlch station having done much research into the subject and discovered some photos of the building. These toilets must have been removed in the early 1900s though possibly when the Land drainage Acts were passed as the drainage from these loos, must have passed into a septic tank and then its overflow discharged to the lake below. Raw sewage may have discharged raw into a dyke down to the lake though beforehand.

They only had gents toilets though!

Maybe they had plenty of bushes around the building then?

Just a pic to show the progress so far. Ive completed some of the roofing and temporarly held this on with blu tack to make sure the overhangs are equal distant. Its a case of making sure everything lines up before securing down. I still need to finish three other sides so more tile cutting to do. Ive finished three doors that open and close to my satisfaction with another two to do.

The real station building!

That looks great! Keep up the good work.

The clock... is it an old watch?

It is indeed a watch somewhat modified for the model. Im hoping to illuminate it later on in the build.
