Have you thought that Dduallt windows may have been broken due to Welsh Weather by any chance? As some people may know, it can get fairly extreme at times!
(I didn't even know there was a waiting shelter at Dduallt!, I've never noticed it!
)

This is my model of Dduallt again I had to reduce its scale somewhat but the proportions are the same. I like this building out of reach from vandals do you think. Again some small detail to add like downpipe and a bit of guttering and I must paint over the paint spillage. Looks like the vandals have had a go.

Certainly not I'm afraid, I'm pretty certain the widnows were done in by oxygen theives, the inside has loads of scribed marks inside as a result of them hanging around there.

You have a keen eye it is indeed a spiral and is modelled on Dduallt the FR of course. Im yet to put the railings on the bridge and the buildings out cos the bloody dog has a tendancy to reciprocate the Welsh weather! There is some tidying up to do after a hard winter Roll on summer!
