I put the Thorley Miniatures goods shed aside for months while I attended to other things, but I have taken it up again in hope of having it ready for 2023 train season .
I decided I wanted to make the truck loading door a slider rather than the kit's hinged doors ...
... which I had to trim to fit the opening and overdid it -- and I had to use the hinges for the crossing gates because I lost the hinges in the TM gate kit ...
... so I found a 3D sliding door file online, made the door a bit wider and taller and the rail longer, and printed it.
I've a few more guides and such to cut and place, and paint to spray on our next dry day, but I think it will work.
I plan to make an awning to go over the door as another part of making my shed look a bit different to the standard kit.
Once I have finished with the interior, I can fit the roof joists and the roof itself.
