Hi,

as you know there is a wide range of motive power depot kits/ readybuilt buildings available. Some of these do represent LNER prototypes, although the majority of kits are generic buildings.

The most cohesive 'range' of LNER buildings- (well, mainly ex-GNR) buildings are the card kits made by 'prototype models'. They are actually quite nice models.

I reccomend scalescenes thier kits are card based and can be chopped about really easily to give various different layouts.
Google scalescenes and look at the website . They have a good selection of photos of completed kits some quite stunning.
Another plus point is once you have purchased a kit you can use it as many times as you like by just printing off another set on your pc they have many choices of finish as well as allowing you to download three free kits to see if you get on with thier methods. I have seen some nice structures built with the free kits but i do advocate buying the listed kits as i think the guy behind scalescenes is doing a great job.
He also gives you help and advice if you are modelling other scales than N, OO or O.

I am no way connected with scalescenes i just like his product.
