The box furniture has now been added and includes the booking-in desk, cupboard, stools, chair, clock and finally the two stoves.
The latter have been modified to act as electrical pick-ups for the lighting, Each stove has a sprung pick up added to the top of the stove pipe which makes electrical contact with copper tape attached to the underside of the roof.
This needs to be tidied up - one of the LEDs in the tube does not work and I have now obtained fresh supplies from Bromsgrove Models together with a DCC Concepts light control pack. Thanks for the prompt delivery John. 
There are two LEDs in the roof which, at present, are positioned inside a drinking straw to diffuse the light [ rather like a flourescent tube - yes I know they were not used in the box ]. I will see what light they produce and if necessary I can remove the tube to give individual lights.
The control panel will be fixed into the void underneath the box floor and will control the two interior lights and a 'swan neck lamp' at the right corner of the box near the steps. I have spent some time attempting to fabricate this lamp using an LED but am not satisfied with the result so will try another design.
The next photos show the interior and you can see the sprung pick ups at the top of the stove pipes.
The front elevation has also been fixed in position and required a bit of fettling at the corners followed by a repaint of the red. Looking at the next photos I see I will need to clean up some of the painting which looks a bit lumpy in places.
The roof has been painted along with the guttering. Painting in between the tiles proved interesting and required viewing from all angles to ensure all 'white undercoat' was painted.
The next task is to fix the lighting, followed by the to downpipes from the guttering. This leaves just the raised walkway and handrails to finish the job.
