This is most interesting since i am in the process of starting to upgrade my Grimsby Station.  Currently it is essentially set of buildings using the general format with a fair bit of artistic licence and no overall roof.  It is further complicated by the fact that I have had to reverse the layout.  My period is about 1955/60 and I have been trying to get hold of some pictures covering that time frame, especially Platform 3 looking from the old bus station side.  A Gentleman and the RM Forum has most graciously taken some pictures of the current state, but more pictures are always welcome if you have any sources.  As a matter of interest did you photo-shop in the signal box or have you made an actual model.  Again it is of some interest because photos of the box from the Louth/Cleethorpes end are rarer than a Hens tooth and that extra tall set of footsteps are rather unique - like the box itself.  FYI i live in Canada.

Garden street box was scratch built by my brother,as for the period that we are modeling is late 60';s to the early 90's.As for finding pictures of the area they are definitely like hens teeth,we had trawled the internet as you do to get as much as we could, then we then actually went to Grimsby to capture the area for ourselves,The most surprising thing was how compact the site really is.Our layout is based on Grimsby Town with modelers artistic license due to the fact of the space we had and also what we wanted out of the model itself.

Really appreciated the pictures of the Garden St box.  Interesting as well because i have a picture that suggests there should be a couple of filled in windows at ground level.
