......and fixed to the doors. The doors are stripwood approx 1mm thick with a backing of pieces cut from old drawing office radius curve templates, a very dense fine grained hardwood. The wood is primed but I just blackened the hangers, ready for a final coat of mid grey.



The doors are very easily knocked off the rail so I might decide to fix them in the open position, I'll see how it goes.

Your U-shaped hanging brackets are works of art. Actually, all your buildings look great.

I spent quite a bit of time last year looking for commercially made castings to represent similar brackets, or think of something else that would pass as a representation from a distance. Could not find anything suitable and I decided making eight was far too much work for a building at the back of the layout.

Your brackets look just like those in the photograph I had of an industrial building in Huddersfield.
