(...) I agree. But I haven't seen anything else even close. I think it represents the grab holds well enough that there is no doubt as to what they are even if they are not 100% accurate. Thanks for the feedback. Merry Xmas Mike (21 years ago, 25-Dec-03, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.town)

(...) Thanks! Other interior touches not mentioned include tiled floors to the entrance hall and conservatory, and a "wooden" (i.e. brown tiles 1 wide) floor in the main hall, as well as a very tight spiral staircase to the top two floors.

Ditto on Pawel's thoughts...I'd love to see more pics, and closer zoom. Nicely done! This shows a great deal of research and attention to realistic detail.
