I also recut all the roof panels. I'm following Greg's suggestion and having a sub roof to run the light wires.

I added a second shy light to the front of the service station area.



Middle building/ service bay.

The sub roof on the showroom is two separate roof panels.



The next photo shows the sky light opening in the sub roof panel.

The main roof panel is on the bottom.

I drew a pencil line around the sub roof opening and used it as a guide to cut the main roof opening sky light. This way both openings fit correctly.

The main showroom roof is one panel.





Once I make a showroom floor, I'll be ready to add the stucco to all buildings.

Done for today.

Tom,

Your build looks might T Fine! There's no doubt not to trust Greg, as his workmanship and wonderful ideas should
be published. I still to this day look back on his lamp tutorial he posted on the old Railroad Line Forums. Good
information to be had. Your build is coming along nicely.

Hi Tom, glad to see that your adopting the sub-roof idea.
The only thing you should change is cutting openings in them where your distribution boards will be located.
That way you can leave the sub-roof in place while you hook up/solder the magnet wires to the distribution boards.
The openings will also allow you to run the magnet wires down into the areas where the boards are located.

Rich, you are so very kind to talk about my work so kindly, thank you my friend!
