Thanks Every one for the kind words and POTW thanks
How long well I built the PC1 building and had it sitting on the shelf and decided that I would do a APA box diorama for it first thought was to have it sitting in the middle and a bit of single line that lasted a week when I thought if I had 3 tracks in the scene it could be used as a inglenook with a sector plate at the end so I fiddled around for a day decided that tracks going parallel in the box didn't work also didn't fit past the building canopy, came up with the idea to angle them
I cut a foam base laid the cork and I was away over a period of I think 3 weeks I did the basics but only a few minuts here and there stick something in let the glue glue set etc.
The longest bit was stick down all the sleepers
Took a few hours to stick the sleepers and spike the rail code 100 rail was used.

The box has a hole in the left side end that is covered by the photo back scene that a sector plate connects to but I haven't cut the photo out around the hole as it looks so good wrapping round the end

This is a photo of the entire APA box Diorama
