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! :? :D

(I didn't even know there was a waiting shelter at Dduallt!, I've never noticed it! :? :lol: )

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!
