N gauge - 2mm scale railway buildings

The signal box is a cardboard kit in 2mm that I inherited from my dad. I am not sure how long ago he brought it but the price label was 33p so definitely after 1972. It’s of Porthmadoc signal box. The stairs are still to be completed as this was practically impossible to achieve with the cardboard at my disposal. I am still thinking of a solution but in the meantime it almost lines up with the platform edge. One of the options for naming the box was Floyd Bridge Signal Box so in homage to Tony Floyd I decided to dedicate the model to him.

The engine shed was a plastic shell with no openings so I had to cut the shed doors, doors and windows out of the plastic. I then used various Metcalfe cardboard off cuts, glazing from other models and strip styrene for gutters and drain pipes to turn the shell into the finished shed.
