castle building

This is my first building in my garden railway. i have made a castle, i have done this by using a turned up plastic beer creat. I cut the tops to look like a castle, i then used builders mastic to glue garden slate chippings to it, i tryed to make it look like a ruin castle. i am going to call my railway the NORTH AVENUE LINE, as it is the street i live on.
I would appreciate any comments you have about my castle.

Excellent use of a beer crate, have you read Peter Jones's book on garden railway buildings?
