Killybegs 19,987 Posted October 11, 2012 Hi Mike, Just under 600mm long at 5.5mm/foot. (3'0" gauge 16.5mm track). It's a reasonable copy of the County Donegal Railway station in Killybegs, unfortunately no longer with us, using a couple of photos taken inside the train shed in the 50's, as there are no drawings available.

Killybegs 19,987 Posted October 12, 2012 I'm starting work today on the wall which supports the outer edge of the roof. This will also be framed up in brass sections. The original was timber framed (with timber cladding and large glazed sections) but as the combined wall/roof needs to be removeable, the structure has to be fairly sturdy to cope with handling by 'semi-skilled' museum staff.
