I also visited Bamber Bridge station this evening, to find a similar item but obviously less effort had been put in...........

The guard's hair could do with a good weeding, too.

Thanks Mick @Newportnobby (https://www.ngaugeforum.co.uk/SMFN/index.php?action=profile;u=264) The first one is good but I noticed they just grow the plants elsewhere and put them in the wagons. I'm not sure why but I think I prefer the second one:

And for those who haven't seen mine, here it is:

I will in time mount the JKR and 88 on black plaques as originally planned.

Haha they are ace

To be fair the Bamber bridge one in isolation is ace. Just out shone once you have seen the other ones.
