Richard Stacey makes some very nice bricks and slates, some of which are available in 1/19th and 1/24th scales, and you can order directly from him.
Nice work Steve. I'm probably stating the obvious, so I'm sure you know you can remove the glazing bars from the window frames if you want to paint them a different colour. Just be gentle with them! And if you're going to leave the signal box outside make sure all the edges are well sealed. If you find the building absorbs any moisture don't panic! You can always bring it inside to dry out.
I'm looking forward to seeing the finished building (like everyone else!)
Cheers!
Steve
