    On my Diesel depot. I used Polyfiller mixed with water and PVA glue. When hard just sand down. Then a coat of concrete paint then add grime on top, It's been down over 5 years now with no cracks .

    scalescene are good as you can change the look of them . A bit of scratch building helps. Metcalfe they seem to be on most layouts . Don't go with the flow make your layout look diffrent.

    With my old lima models i replaced them with Ultrascale wheels . That was a few year's back . These day's with the cost of parts you need to update a lima model . CD motor . wheels . roof grill . windows . Then i'd get a S/H Bachmann or Vitrains model .

    Plastic sheet like this cut to size will do. Then just paint it the colour you want. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1-x-Plastic-Building-Card-Model-Scratch-Build-Sheet-1mm-Thick-0-040-White-2nd/362815586573?hash=item54797e810d:g:ovcAAOSwVR9d0C8K

    Hi pnosferatu. I've built a few of these kit's. At the moment i'm building the station, There are no eaves with these kits if you want to fit eaves you can use evergreen cut to size. With mine the roof is glued to the brick work as you carn't see them once the roof is on.
