Sorry I forgot to post the picture of the elements of this kit - quite extensive - these are the remaining parts....

Next to fit are the doors. I have already painted the doors themselves. In the pack are strips to represent the door sliding gear, hangers and rollers.

Continuing... Here are the doors added to the goods shed. The double doors for the street and showing one of the trackside doors.

Next up are the roof trusses. Each truss has a three steel reinforcing rods.

I need to drill each truss in turn with my Dremel drill and add the rods before positioning these on the brick piers. Here are the parts for this step....

I think this is a beautifully detailed kit. I intend using leds to illuminate the interior once it is on the layout.

Here are the trusses with the rods fitted. I used a small drill rather than the Dremel as they are very fragile and I did not want to break them.

Here are the trusses glued to the building. I have also added glazing to the insides of the windows before adding the trusses as I thought it would make it more difficult once they were affixed.

Eaves strips have been added to the sides as well as small strips of engraved brick strips to the infills on the main brick walls.

Next up the construction of the office...............

Here are the parts for the office.

The walls come in two parts. here are the windows and door together with the brick overlay which are glued together.

Having chosen the GWR colour scheme the painting of the doors is a little trying............

I glued the walls together for the little office. There is included a floor which helps to square the walls. The brick overlays are slightly proud of the side walls to allow you to cut back the walls and gently scribe them to finish off the corners nicely.

Continuing..

I painted the beams/spars in the main shed grimy black and added a little Inter-Action Enterprises Roll Top Desk & Chair for my goods shed foreman.

Continuing...

I glued the office to the end of the main building.

Next up the office roof - these are the roof trusses and sarking pieces for the next step.

The desk and chair are absolutely great . And I love the asymmetric of the building. Would love to build a British layout , but first have to finish an American N-scale and HO layout, so maybe when I'm retired 

[madharry]

Thanks Jan I appreciate it.
