such as re-tiling the roof with strips from Scalescenes roof tiles; gutters & downpipes; a door way at this end onto a small platform: adding some relief with sills & lintels; hiding those vertical edges with brick.
To start with, this kit is red brick but is far redder than the basic Scalescenes red brick paper so I added more magenta in the colour output via my printer. The top strip is standard Scalescenes & the bottom is the Sol version.

that looks the part & the next photo shows the strip in place to hide the card join on the top buttress

the updating will be slow as my modelling life for the next couple or 3 weeks will be full with meetings here with differrnt groups plus one club I am a member of, slowly moving home so a lot of packing & transporting.

thicker lintel & sills & together with weathering, the reds should merge in.

half of the main roof re-tiled

I've always thought the weakest part of the Metcalfe range is their printed roofs. They do make excellent bases for detailing and improving as you are doing to this one.

I have got a Metcalfe signal box kit to build when I get around to it.
I want to know how hard it would be to build, and if it's worth building more Metcalfe in the future.

If you take your time and study the instructions, anyone can build them. A bit of care is needed in the "after-build" to hide the card edges - usually by painting otherwise each corner and all the door/window surrounds will have a brown edge.
They're also pretty tough models. The only downside is that there will be hundred or thousands of layouts with the same engine shed/signal box/station etc. etc. unless you do what Sol is doing and "personalise" them. But then that's the case with all "kit built" stuff.

gutters, downpipes & some weathering to come.

The weathering will bring it to life.

This end only easily seen from outside the train room door so not as detailed.
