Elmer Lane 13 - Top Hat Roofing

DB bumbles onwards:

The back wall of the top hat windowless clerestory roof protrusion:

Stuck together:

Both walls of the upper walls installed:

Top hat roof going in by trial and error:

Top hat installed!

On the bottom half of the wall, a dark-topped piece of stripwood that the rear half of the main roundhouse roof will sit on. Halfway down some of the roof beams are little sections of further support:

Ooo, roof sections going on, cut by trial and error, 4 bays at a time:

Installed, and the intermediate bays marked with a black pencil:

It still needs smoke stacks, and it really should have skylights up by the top hat, but I couldn't quite be bothered. I may add these on the inside roof section, but there are two skylights per bay, with the smokestack in between so that sounds like a lot of work. 

Roof martial is Metcalfe ("made in Yorkshire!") printed card. They do bricks and tiles and the like but this is road surface. I used that black coloured pencil to 'paint' the white edges where I made cuts in the card before sticking things down.

Another thing I was stewing over was whether to install some lighting. As the whole thing lifts off and is completely open inside, that can always be done later, as it feels like this building build has already been going on long enough, and updates will become more sporadic over the next few weeks.

Went out trainwatching with Mr Wallace Friday night/Saturday morning and saw this guy on the way home (little blue penguin):
