This lunchtime I’ve spent some time working on incorporating hanging lights into the Metcalfe platform canopies. It’s going quite well so far. Taken my time to work out exactly how to get the lamps where I want.

Completely separate post on the subject of model railways. I’m looking for architects drawings for Great Western station canopies from the first half of the 20th century.

The selection of canopies available to modellers is rather poor, most don’t match the dimensions of the platforms you’d put them in anyway, so I’m going to experiment with a bit of 3D printing to set what’s feasible at this scale.

This might also trigger the purchase of a resin printer if the results are good enough but not quite good enough, if you get my meaning.
