I have another project in mind for the layout.
When I built the engine yard I built a couple of engine sheds using cast resin pieces from NuCast. I was quite happy with them but recently I noticed that they are starting to warp, meaning they didn't sit flat on the baseboard. There is clearly some tension in them causing this.
For some time I've been thinking of replacing them but couldn't find a suitable alternative. The best option I decided, was to buy a Bachmann NER engine shed. They often come up on eBay but the price is usually astronomical.
Imagine my surprise yesterday when I managed to bid for not one, but two of them and paid less than £50 each.
