    Hi Patrick. I found the seats on eBay. They came ready made but were a bit plasticky so I sprayed them black and painted the timber slats green. Cheers Darius

    The lights are from Kyle’s Lights and are wired to parallel bus bars (copper tape strips) beneath the platform. So not plug and play. Cheers Darius

    …and to the up platform. Cheers Darius

    I have used 2mm thick card painted with BR rail grey enamel. The concrete inside the real shed is likely to have a non dust/non slip coating so no need for a textured finish. Outside the slab surface may be tamped in real life for grip and frost protection so perhaps apply the talc to external hardstandings with slab joints scribed in with a sharp knife. Cheers Darius

    I base it as much as possible on photos of the prototype and modify it as necessary to fit the constraints of the layout. As long as the “look” is right then I’m satisfied. Cheers Darius

    When we moved to Belfast in 1978 we tried swimming off a beach near Glenarm on the coast road. Once the water got above my ankles my feet were totally numb and we gave up the attempt. The only swimming I ever did in NI was in the BRA swimming pool. Cheers Darius
