Since it's a narrow platform, how about a newspaper stand instead of a kiosk, after all it's already under cover.

Just a thought.

I reckon thats the perfect answer Ed thanks ... a newspaper stand it will be, with just the odd wee folk it will keep it spacious ...

Ian you could probably make it a bit thinner than it should be and thus reduce the visual impact on the rest of the platform.

That`s Good Toto,

But I think Ian may use a more subtle method than the hammer.

Smashing idea though in more ways than one.?

Hi Ian,

The newspaper stand is great. I think it's much more at home than the kiosk was. Just physical size I think. The whole character of it is so much more realistic as well.

Great job done. Your detailing has really paid off. A truly fantastic result.

Proceeding along at a steady rate Ian and the plank is looking very good.

I'd better pull my finger out, as my plank hasn't been touched for a few weeks now...

Cheers, Gary.
