OK, so this time, remember that the roof tiles sit on the battens, and that you will need to add a batten at the gutter verge to prevent the bottom course from drooping

.............and I am so tempted to offer a suggestion for the type of car that the Rosenbach signalman probably drives

Do you want me to add a picture

Still German 3.0 L

Yes, I'm still German 1.8 litre supercharged - I felt sure you'd like a picture

S'got the AMG sport trim, so goes round corners pretty well, but there hasn't been the weather to drop the roof

Poof.
Steve's building is far more individual and tasteful, unless he paints it boudoir rosé

 

[Steve]

Great weather for trains

Nice box Steve.
Looks as robust as the R1 concrete viaducts you made for me a few years back (Still going strong BTW).

Yeah, it would take an hour to clear my track to run a train today.

Are you implying that I lack taste ?

Bah humbug, don't you just hate this 'one up-manship' ?

We had a smattering, but while we were in church it turned to rain - sadly no need to run 'white thunder'

Nah, but a certain German car maker
We had snow like Steve did this morning, it was so unexpected thick and fast that the ploughs weren't ready, pity it is Sunday otherwise we could have seen some real chaos

Trouble is that as I don't like silver or black for a car, the choices were limited, so when they said the only one they had (previously enjoyed) was red, it rather appealed to the Rudolph in me

and I had nearly had a head-on in the old silver one so I thought I'd make sure that the old farts could see me coming

I think Steve needs to do some more work on his signal box

Great looking signal box! Lots of inspiration for this winter's project. How did this thread go so badly downhill? From fantastic modelling to someone's taste in cars?

Ah, I can explain - it's a long story, and the Kat and I have a minor rivalry.

It'll get back on track when he's done a bit more to the roof
