Thanks - I think it was a Ratio kit (two for £5). If you travel on the Southern region they are dotted about all over the place - in total disrepair.

Here is the other one :lol:

I would stick with the bricks as well BB. That apart down south is not stone country is it. Where as up in the north we have stone coming out of our ears. :)

The summer sun sets late in Northern Europe. Lovely images. Stones coming out of one's ears, another interesting image. :)

I decided to fit working headlamps to the lead taxi outside the station - nearly there, they work, just need to hide the wiring.
