4) Adding the buildings

Choice of buildings was not a problem, as I already had a good number, kindly supplied by Carnforth Models for use on Layout No.2, The Middleforth Light Railway. Some extras were necessary for the new layout, notably an engine shed and a goods shed. The large and heavy nature of these kits required some care in the construction and handling, but they look the part and so far have stood up fairly well to the rough-and-tumble of exhibitions. However I have decided to transport their boxes in the car rather than in the trailer, as the latter's tendency to bounce over bumps can be disconcerting, notwithstanding a thick wodge of foam plastic cushioning.
