Wykeham - Somewhere in the south!

Love that grotty hut!

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

Class 205 (Thumper) leaving Wykeham. The trainspotters should be home by now

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 have not as yet attempted to "weather" the walling. I have touched up the coping stones with a concrete/stone colour, but the walls will need quite a bit of work - still looking at Google Images for inspiration

The retaining walls are a perfect transition from near ground to far back ground. Making a note of this.

Thanks Chops - I have still a few more feet of Metcalfe walling to replace. Then to start weathering

That night picture in particular is a joy.

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