St Pancras Phase 2 - Update 2

The weather wasn't too good this weekend, so it was a good time to have a day inside and crack on with some building!
As you can see, building has moved on a pace. The end walls actually went up pretty quickly once I'd worked out how to build the root arches. My original idea went out of the window once I realised that the (brand new and differently coloured) LEGO I had for the arches flexes alot less than the test pieces I was using. So, a new style of Arch was called for, which also meant new side walls, new supports for the outer parts of the arch, etc, etc.
It's done now, anyway. So all I need to do now is get hold of the remaining parts I don't have (and that's still quite alot!) and build another 10 arch and wall sections, 10 more roof sections, all of the insides, 3m of shops, escalators, lifts, Routemasters, Eurostars.......
