Pilot cottages Borth y Gest

 With all but two of the cellar windows completed, I have started to work out the levels of the road and front walls. The cut outs are for the wooden strengthening blocks which are part of the baseboard. Several of the houses have iron railings, I've been looking to see if any of the Scale Link range could be used.
The end cottages were given two different 1930s style doors. The diamond window design seems to really work with the windows. I suspect this is the kind of detail that someone will one day put me right on; if so I can always change it. On my previous model of the Corris I was fortunate to meet lots of people who had recollections of the railway and were often able to fill in the gaps where no photos were available. The rear of Abberllefeni station building was always the most contentious; was its stone or wood panelled? Of course being a 'might have been' scenario I'm probably being a bit precious, after all there was no railway there in real life was there....
