After posting last night, had a go repositioning the telegraph poles in the station area, routing them behind the platform (the elastic allowing that) from their previous position between the rhyne and the yard. More for practical and artistic reasons, I could see me colliding with the wires all the time (which I did several times), also when viewing the layout from it's normal frontal viewing angle they appeared rather too prominent giving almost a French or US feel! A couple of snaps grabbed of 41248 first thing this morning. Unlike yesterday's shots which were taken with window light, these are under the layout's own lighting pelmet with 'energy savers''. The window on the platform is the result of me knocking it of the side of shelter when making the hole for the post - tempted to leave it there?

Highly elastic, hopefully enough to survive 'spawn of chaw' and elderley women who have to finger everything when on the road. Will it survive me when I get a shunting pole hooked up? We shall see, it's vvvvveeeeerrrrryyyy elastic - boiinngg!
