Far too good to walk past, simply had to be done. Nice one.

A little bit of cosmetic work to these ancient clerestories. New metal wheels, NEM coupling boxes and Hunt couplings, two roofs repainted and GWR logos added.

As I have been going through my locos recently, I have realised that I do have a good number of GWR or ex GWR stock which rarely runs on West Orton. However, a little voice is suggesting that I could revamp Low Ghyll as a 'western' setting by making a few small changes to buildings and fencing.

It's started.
Too cold to venture out today so I spent a couple of hours designing some GWR spear fencing. It's quite fine so no idea if it will print successfully but I'll give it a try when it warms up.
