The recently released Hornby Skaledale Cricket Pavilion has possible use as a station building for narrow gauge and light railways. Since all this range is only produced in relatively limited quantities, it will not be available forever, so prospective purchasers should act soon.
I had a similar thought but when I went to the shop to get one I saw 'The Copper Kettle Tea Rooms' which is a delightful little mock tudor building and plumped for that instead. When I've finished messing it about I'll post a picture.
Its been a while since Garry started this thread but finally I have some pictures of a Skaledale cricket pavillion as converted into the station building at Underhill on the Isle of Stoner Railway.

And the station building at St Ruth is a Skaledale Copper kettle tea rooms.

I wouldn't call that 'messing about' with a kit. Very effective, I wouldn't have thought it had been adapted from something meant for a sports club or a tea room. But why not?
They look just the part. Makes you wonder if they will reappear in the Skaledale range in this guise!
Looks quite colonial.
