Have to agree, the model is very impressive. It would grace any layout.

Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.

Another idea for a line side building would be a garden centre or nursery.

Peedie Models do a nice etch of 3 greenhouses scaling to about 10' x 8', easy enough to join together to make a longer one, with a bit of hacking could also make one up as a cold frame, although a frame is easy to scratch build.

Thank you for the kind comments Peter.

I've come back to N gauge after a 23 year absence and I'm still coming to terms with the developments that have taken place since the last time I was modelling.

The sawmill was a "test piece" to see whether I could model at a standard I was happy with and, on the whole, I'm satisfied with the results. I've always preferred to model from a specific prototype as firstly the design work is done for you and secondly it is always fun to set your model beside the real thing and see how close you have got.

I've never thought of getting involved with the exhibition circuit/circus but I suppose I could sit quietly in a corner and let people watch me cut up little bits of card, wood etc. I gather it's called "demonstration"

Given the predilections of most of the forum members, how about a brewery, or if you are modelling a Scottish prototype, a distillery. plenty of opportunities for inteesting buildings there.
