Well progress has been terribly slow on this little layout but other things have taken priority before I could play a little!!
I have made a start on a station building at long last which is based on the WC&PR at Wick St Lawrence. This style of "hut" is very typical of light railways and could be found on so many lines from the east to west coast but the inspiration really came from walking our daughter's dog near the path of the line. As I have said before a fellow WT put me in contact with the society and dimensions were kindly shared so I could make some kind of reasonable model.
Also some of you know we have property in Spain with about 6.5 acres of olive and carrob trees that require much work and we travel between the UK and Spain on a 90 day rota so playing trains in sometimes a bit of a sneaky squeeze!!
Well as can be seen from the photos the material used is a cereal carton (yes you can get Weetabix in Spain!) To which is attached strips of more said material to represent the weatherboard. The dimensions show that 6" boarding was used and I have used 5mm strips to gain the overlap. Normal white wood glue was used but due the warmth the lamination warped, hence the use of a press made of slate table mats and 4 bottles of water (6kg) to flatten the sides.
We have only a couple of weeks left before we travel back to old blighty so it is not my intention to assemble the building but flat pack the sides safely before travelling.
I hope the photos show WIP and I will upload another once I have finished the sides and cut them out.
I am still persevering!!

). Now that situation no longer applies, having left 7mm for a more compact regime (and other reasons which have no place on WT - 
I'm really sorry to see the damage from the attic. I feel your frustration, but try not to get too disheartened. You're inspiring me to keep going with my little project, so I will do likewise. Is anything salvageable?
