Cafe extension marches on...

More of the beautifully crafted windows have been installed in the cafe extension - apologies for the photo quality, the light was fading by the time I took most of these pictures.


A view out from the interior, which has had a ceiling and well-chosen pendant lights installed. The station canopy brackets have also been attractively painted. The Swedish 'B' Class 4-6-0 with its 'Nord Express' line up is beginning to make a rather attractive scene to admire whilst having a cup of tea and a piece of cake.


Our new 'gate guardian' continues to undergo its cosmetic overhaul. Although it's not finished yet, the difference that this project is making to the first impression of the site is quite incredible...


...remember this?


It appears that top coat is going on, the loco is apparently going into an authentic SJ livery...


...something like this (modified by me from an original photo by Martin Vos). According to the IRPS, this is an authentic livery for the 'B' Class but not this specific locomotive.
