What an absolutely marvelous idea, Gordon

Do you know if it is possible to swap the red roof with the mansion roof to make them match (bearing in mind I have never seen a mansion before so I wouldn't know)

I think that building would just need extending by one unit, with the door on the end, as you say

Thank you, Damo. 

One unit should be fine.

 I think the roof might fit, and the dormers, but I wouldn't swear to it.

Here are the pieces from playmoDB and they look right.  (I am correct in it being the 5300 mansion?)

Yes, that is what I am thinking of, I just don't know whether it will work becuse I have never seen a 5300 in real life to see how it goes together etc.

The roof and dormer units look just like the Steck ones.

I just happened to have both on hand, so took this snap.  The ones from the 5300 Mansion are longer, so they wouldn't fit the end piece.    Maybe a spray paint job would be a better solution.

My bad!     I didn't look back at the original sections you used, those are much longer than the orange ones in the picture.  Maybe the mansion roof sections would work.

You could use this from the coloured DS houses:

with this dormer from the same source:

and these for the edging:

This would mean extending the garage by two wall sections, but it would give the chauffeur more room for a workbench.
