In another, unrelated occurrence, the over rail signal box I found on a French website (with a Chinese name) has not arrived.
I gave it two weeks but therefore no updates on my 'account' with them so I raised a query via PayPal. Pleased to say that PP gave me a full refund within 72 hours.
But I'm still looking for a suitable over rail or high level box - let's see if any of my saved searches on eBay bear fruit.

If I could sell two a day I’d find a way of making them.! :D

I also got the colour on the Wrenn loco I’m restoring - no point in hanging around.

An impressive looking layout growing at a fast rate. Well done, Steve.

Steve your shed looks amazing but may I make an observation. The end of the vents are built with bricks. I’m not sure they would be unless they were extensions of the end walls. The bricks would not have a strong foundation. I reckon they would look better made of wood.

Agreed but not an option with the moulds in the kit. I could scratchbuild new ends but too late now.

I thought that would be the case. You could stick some thin vertical planks on top. I’ll go. :)

Fabulous. A real masterpiece. When you start mass production, put me done for one :D
