Huw, I just have to say that this is fantastic. I love the detail. Just
something as simple as two 1x1 two-sided thin wall bricks to make a tiny
sink in the kitchen is genius. The fact that every inch of the model has
detail like this is amazing.
BTW, where you said:
"I have no idea why steam sheds have round windows above the tracks, but
they look neat."
These sheds originally had a centrally mounted electric motor with a
triple-bladed extractor fan in these circular holes. OO gauge models that
I've seen usually have them painted to match the guttering, typically GWR
dark green. These very early electric motors were noisy, unreliable and
difficult to reach, which is why there's rarely anything left of them apart
from the holes.
Jason.
