It is meant to stay out in all weathers and be a set of worker's cottages permanently placed near one of my stations. It is being constructed on three large quarry floor tiles cemented together for stability. This photo is the early stages of construction and since this time I have scratchbuilt windows and doors rather than use jigstone ones and I am constructing the roof out of fibreglass roof tile sheets.
If the cold weather continues it might get completed this spring but I really need to get the railway running again. The Crowfoot Light Railway is very much a fair weather railway but with some components that have to stay out throughout the winter.

Hi again.
Today I tried my new buildings by the line. There is going to be a third building, and this is not the place where they are ment to be situated. The houses are basically clear plastic boxes on wich I have put aluminium and repair mortar. As I said earlier, they are going to stay out for all driving season
