Houses on the Hill

A couple of cottages have appeared on the hill along with shrubs and trees.

Scenic work continues on "Shortwaite Hill".  Two cottages with walls have been added plus shrubs, trees and flowers applied by my wife around the hill and station area.  The cottages are old Playcraft (and later Hornby) plastic Thatched Cottage kits modified with pan tile roofs, guttering and barge boards.  Here are some posed shots with the Bagnall "Hazel".

Appearing under the bridge carrying the lane over the top.

At "Stonegate" Station.  Lamps and a station name board have also made an appearance.

Running in to "Stonegate" station.  I have a soft spot for the Egger-Bahn "P43" coaches, so I obtained one from the 009 Society sales stand for restoration.  Originally green as below, I repaired two roof corners as they were broken, then re-painted the coach.
