    This station was bought as a job lot from that auction site we all know. It was, as you can see, in a bad state. Did what i think is a good job but would love some input on what else i could have done or what i could have added....
    Apologies if all the pictures dont come on here... first post

    I wondered. The photo I first looked at looked great. I thought to myself, that doesn't look a bit tired and assumed that you had made a mistake. :avatar:

    Now, seeing how it started out ...... You have really done yourself proud.

    Nice result. :thumbs:

    Hi there Bigyin,
    I think you'll find I am in the same boat. I am very much a beginner so I think you've done fab. I think I'll be asking you for tips. :avatar:
    However, Gary on the other hand would be the man to watch as his modelling skills are something to be admired.
    You've done an admireable job with your refurb of the building.
    well done Sir.
    cheers
