It's a very FR trait to leave a construction project ever-so-slightly unfinished and we like to keep up the tradition in model form!
It is only now, four months after the first exhibition appearances, that the Cambrian station buildings have gained their decorative finials.
These buildings, of which no trace remains today, were a interesting challenge to research and scratch build for the layout and something I think I may return to in fuller post sometime.
I must say, that bench in front of the ground frame cabin (not a signal box) does look a very inviting place to while away some time on a summer afternoon.
What it must have been to have rested here at this summit and heard the sharp bark of GWR engines forging their way up the banks on either side!
It’s something I’m too young to have experienced but if you still have those memories clear in your mind it would be lovely for you to share them with us in the comments below.
