Sandy,
You could always make a bridge to cover up the hinges, one that just drops on top, once the flap is secured.

No can't do that because my plans for the senics on the flap section. There is ging to be a road leading into a goods shed yard in the corner. Its all in my head. Prooves something is in it.
Steve. I'm going to get sign like that for my door.

That is good idea TWD, but now the mainline is there it is to close to the track. Thought of signal box but there are no points nearby. Cant think of any other buildings that would be so close to the rails.

How about farm buldings such as a barn? I scratch built a barn to hide a servo controller that needed to be installed topside on my current layout. In the past I also used a Hornby water tower to hide a DCC Concepts point motor - still got it if it's big enough to go over your hinge blocks 70x48mm internal size - even has automatic lighting installed!
Most people are shocked when they find out how bad I am as an electrician
Thankyou for the offer TWD but the hinge block is 5" X 2". I think it will look good as a grassy bank with foot path next to it with some trees next to the back scene.
