Building the railway station, with help from Morgan

The railway station with the missing part (which Metcalfe replaced very quickly) took quite a while to build. I even had some assistance at one stage from our cat, Morgan. You dohave to follow the instructions closely. I missed one and now there is a part missing, but fortunately it is inside the building and isn't critical as it doesn't show from outside.

It does look quite good now it is finished but it required a lot of delicate work around the platform canopy, whch cannot be rushed. Here is the front (street side of the building with and without it's canopy.

The station platform has a roof but one of the panels has gone missing somewhere in the house (I blame the cat) so I've constructed a temporary one which can be replaced if the real part turns up. Here is the platform side, with and without the roof.

I just need to build some additional platform each side now to create a sensible length of station for the layout.
