    Well it looks good!! I just didn’t know what it was for.
    (I wonder if there may have been some stickers on the original?)

    Kim has done a great job of the yard lights. I recall the yard light he made for LSD, a lovely piece of work !

    Cheers, Gary.

    Long overdue update. We have been working hard on completing the stage 2 part of Pauls layout empire, namely the outer running loops which will have plenty of storage for his rolling stock plus a twin platform station, good depot and a incline dropping down to the TMD to allow loco only movements from the TMD up to the loops. Hopefully have the two inner loops completed this week with a couple more sidings......
