Hi All,
After lowering the height of the foam more background buildings are needed i decided for variety ...... though the DPM wall section kits seem to be sold out everywhere here and Walthers modulars the same.
So on Saturday afternoon i went over to picturescue Clitheroe to my LHS and made up the following structure from the Walthers kit Still have a few walls left hopefully i can use around the layout possibly as friend suggested two wall ends with a pedestrian bridge linking them.

Spreading the kit out gives a good length.

A route in the K&S metals box provided brass tubing for the pipe from the watertank into the building.

One of the windows blanked of with brick plasticard next to the loading dock.

Inside ready for plasticard floors and lighting ....... the headhouse wall needs a capping stone and the inside of the upright pillar tops a piece of plasticard to neaten them up.

The motorised blower on the roof is loose and will join other items there with cables for power ....... & firescapes
I picked up Walthers Northern light and Power kit with a bit more track Kato RS2 Chicago Great Western and a pack of Kadees while at the LHS ... ( could have done with a few more packs of Kadees )
A picture of a carshop gave me the idea to have trucks removed from cars lined up in a mini diorama near or next to the shop the guy at the LHS gave me these for a couple of $ .
