I have thought about doing something like that in the pit in front of the coaling stage.

A few yard lamps from layouts 4U arrived today, they are a little stark in gloss black so will need toning down.

I really like the clutter that you are adding, it does add so much life and atmosphere to the scene. I have wanted some yard lamps for ages and they look just the job.
I picked up some of those drums with the hand pumps at the Reading show and it’s nice to see yours made up and painted....I’ll have to get on with mine

A few bits from the Ragstone range for Christmas plus an Intentio stores room under construction. The Intentio diesel shed is on its way for the front of the shed.

Heljans latest steam offering the Churchward mogul.
This will become 5380 and I’ve replaced the Early crest with later ones from Fox.

Missed your post above previously. Nice to see you getting a Bulleid. 34064 is one of the many I have in 4mm. The Giesl Ejector makes a nice visual change to the rest of the class.

I’ve wanted a bullied for a long time, glad I’ve now finally got the kit.
I picked 34064 as she ran a railtour out of Paddington so fitted in with my Ranelagh bridge project. She just happened to have a great name and the bonus of the Geisel ejector. I do like the one offs and slightly unusual engines.

You don't fancy having a go at the weird smoke deflector experiments tried out on 34035 Shaftesbury then?

No I’m happy with 34064 and I did want one of the Battle of Britain’s.

Just shows you how well thought out Phil's kits are and the fact they go together very easily.
The actual build time is quite short.... it's the painting and finishing which takes the time.
