I've had the crayons out and using the details from other GWR huts plus the photos of original huts, I've made a drawing of how I think the telephone hut should look.

 

Something like this?

I've just started assembling my laser cut kit of one of these this morning.

 

Unfortunately there were one or two inconsistencies between the instructions and the kit parts provided.

 

They implied (according to the instructions) that the door was separate, but it wasn't, so I can to very carefully cut the door out from the front section with a fine piercing saw.

 

They said there were hinges to glue to the door(s). There weren't, so I made my own from 5 thou plasticard.

 

They said there was a small piece of glazing for the window. There wasn't, but I'll probably not glaze mine anyway, as it will portray a somewhat disrespectable hut that's not used much now and has fallen on hard times.

But if Chris were to do a 3-D printed one, I'd certainly buy it!

I've still got five or six vintage bikes, but as they're all post 1920, they're pretty much worthless. We just use them for getting about on.

Selling my Wearwell Path Racer was the worst and then there was the 1920s chromoly  track frame that was as light as a maiden sigh.  😢
