Thanks for your help that was useful BB. Your picture has shown me a better way of mounting the bridge too. Instead of just resting it on the top of wall.

Been busy lately got all the wiring done at last, it is so hard getting under the BB at my age. Getting under is easy enough but getting up is the hard bit.
Have just been working on the engine shed. Have put together two to make one longer shed. Had to cut the ends off each one because they did not connect close enough without removing the ends first. Still have to fit the gutters and down pipes which are on order from Peco

Had this signal box which needed some repair. It,s had new finials some paintwork and new steps. Name will be changed to GALLOWAY Walkingthedog recommended this steps kit and it was very good and easy to build. Still have to make the hand rails and paint the wooden boards.
Thanks Brian for the tip.

Would not have recognized it for a Skaledale product. Very nicely done.

Yes Chops it was in a bit of a poor state when I got it in a box of other stuff bought at a exhibition. The name will be changed to the station it will be next to but that station has not been named yet. Suppose it could be Dumfries which is the closest station to Sandy Hills. May call it Galloway Station after the county Dumfries & Galloway. Thats it, you have given me inspiration, the main station name is going to be called Galloway.So the signal box name will be Galloway
