PBMM s new station building

[pbmm]

After almost a 20 month lay off it was decided by me that the old PBMM could do with a bit of T L C  as it was looking realy tatty and not just round the edges after a rely good look at it i realized it would be a case of replacing the station building as the old one almost fell apart on being removed after all it was 10 years old and some of the other buildings were in need of attention too so here gose

The new building was to be a two stories ,the ground floor to consist of the usual offices ie  ticket office waiting room and station masters office and the like and the upper floor to be the station masters  apartment

Excellent! It must be new station season at the moment You've progressed a little further than me and I'll be keen to see how you progress - it has a very nice interesting roofline and proportions and I'm looking forward to seeing how you tackle the exterior finish. Power to your elbow!

greeting gents and  firstly  thank you all for the interest and kind words it goes a long way towards making my model building more fun
right on with the build, well having now completed the  mock up of the roof and sorted out all the angles its time to build the roof proper like .now some may ask why waste time with a mock up in the first place well it really helps to see the how the various  panels have to be cut and planed hard wood RBP is not cheap so measure twice and cut once  is the order of the day. the roofing gang have knocked off for the day and  well they didnt to too bad
