Hawick via Grantham, Inverness and SIAM (00 gauge DC)
Re: The Shed-ends & window frames
Thanks Daniel (and not a tree to be seen!)
Work the switched to the shed ends – as can be seen the Wills sheet was not large enough to cover the end in one go.

I think even only weathering will make the joint of the Wills pannels invisible to the mind but I'm sure you will find your way.
Good work, as usual.

Thanks Daniel.
Work switched back to the shed ends again - in the background is a photo of the curved bricks forming the arch over the shed doorway, and in the foreground the arrow indicates the start of my scraping away the stonework in order to accommodate the curved bricks. (The sandstone colour is merely a trick of the night light - it's still grey!) The photo also shows how the original roof profile was built onto around 1955.

Looks like work is progressing well - think the wait to see the final build will be well worth it!

Re: This way Honey!
The latest addition to the loco stud is a Hornby A2/3, and its transformation (no prizes for guessing its new name) is covered in my Workbench thread at:
https://www.newrailwaymodellers.co.uk/F ... 17#p693517
Work on the locoshed progresses and will be updated in the next few days.

Re: A distressing time is called for.
Back to the locoshed.
Fs123 you're quite right there – whilst the size of the stones was more like what I needed, their relief was too exaggerated and I had to file/sand them flatter – an act of sacrilege some might think.

Great progress Ex Pat, and high quality modelling as usual. Looking forward to seeing the finished shed.

This Signature Left Intentionally Blank, but since I have written this and I intended to do it, this Signature is intentionally not blank. Paradox or What?

The structure itself, although not warping, did “flex” a little and I hoped that pieces of Plastikard in the corners (as per arrow) would stop the movement

It has a characterful presence already, Ex-Pat, even if still whithout roof.
