Morning Steve,

Good to see you and glad you liked the Hawksworths.

Rob.

I shall be in touch shortly Rob and come down to the shop.

The last details added to the KESR diorama, another pair of road signs for the opposite side of the crossing.
The first day on the Kirton Lindsey project, the board framed up and the track laid over a printed plan so we have the correct 60’ panels and the cutting sides carved out of polystyrene.

Actually that's a difficult one, Steve. I don't know quite how the "Trains Cross Here" sign would be positioned vis-a-vis the "Crossing no Gates" sign. In fact would both be used for the same crossing? I have to say they look perfect as they are so this may be an absolutely meaningless question.

Just caught up with this. The 'Trains Cross Here' sign is in the correct position on the left hand side only at the crossing. The 'Crossing No Gates' sign would have been on the left hand side but set further back along the road, 440, 880 yards or some other imperial distance, as an advance warning of the ungated crossing.
