Paul, I'm glad to see you got time to get started on the next layout project. Building it out on the porch where there is room to work, make sawdust, and swing boards around is a great idea. I like the backdrop supports on the back and end. What are the overall dimensions.
I finished re-gluing my Thomas, West Virginia enginehouse I purchased from a modeler who is switching scales. Some of the rafters and center supports had come soose in transport. It is a Carolina Craftsman Kits product. I have it out of the train room so it doesn't get damaged until I am ready to place it on the layout. The seller had taken the doors off for shipping. I left them off but placed them in a plastic bag fore safe keeping.
