    This is coming along rather nicely Ian. :thumbs::thumbs::thumbs: Looking forward to scenery and what you have in mind.
    I was thinking, you wouldn't really need the brick base on the signal box since it is platform mounted. If it was stand alone, yes the brick base would be warranted. ;)

    Cheers, Gary.

    ps, Rule #1, it's your railway !

    Incredible, amazing how much you've been able to fit in that small space. Looks great. :hammer:

    Ok so here we go again plan whatever g or h or ... anyway clap boarded the lower half of the signal box. i tried it without any base but it looked too low ... anyway to me it looks much bette like thisr, cheers Gary. I also made a water crane out of a piece of plastic sprue that I'd hoarded (don't we all) ... 3ft rule applies

    I Just built the Creamery in 00 scale. Glad I didn't have to make in in N scale. Very interested to see your slant on it. :thumbup:

    i've had to reduce the height so the company sign is lower and I've placed the windows further back to give it more depth in appearance . .. still got bare edges to do with pencil ... 3' rule applies not a lot of mods but it suits the case layout ... thanks for your comments

    Yep I agree, I think the dairy needs toning down a bit, to make it fit in with the rest of the scene. Love what you've done with the Windows. :thumbup:
