Spoiler alert:
I ordered some lamps with shades incase I decide to light it up a bit.
It is funny how a simple kit can lead to a scratch build idea and more fun than just putting together a kit.
I am using recycled card stock as a template for the walls of the mechanical house and glue up some boards to the template, it is not a scale copy of the model just a representation so dimensions are of no real concern just has to "feel" right with the larger trains O and some S trains may look good with it. Once I get the mechanical house done I will study the parts and exploded diagram to see what I would like to change, add or delete from my build. It will be "adjusted" with modelers / artists license.
