Bit of a, I should have known better day, today.
Firstly I noticed the one of the station building name signs had fallen off...

...now given past experience, I should not pick up a building by it's roof...

...you would think I would have known better by now...

...as well as a roof respray, and yes those snow poles look different from the plastic ones as they are real wood, just out of devilment, I thought I would give them a try...

...after a spray of a laquer over the whole roof, the station building is now home. For how long as after many years outside I am considering a total referb (read into that replacement), if Christmas is good to me.
I also turned my hand to the tunnel mouths, looking for a grey stone finish, so I bought a tin or two of darkish grey "concrete" paint...

...not the result I was looking for, it's more white (new) concrete, nothing like the shade on the tin...

...this is more of the finish I was looking for, it's another coat of grey primer, on top of the black. Maybe I'll just go with it, will need another rattle can or two, then a coat of laquer as per the station building roof. Then over winter them for installing next year.
