Needed to try my hand at 7mm building construction. Also thoughts about a small-ish end to end 7mm layout/test track to run my stock. Found what I was looking for on a book about the Banbury and Cheltenham . Sarsden Halt should have been called Churchill Halt, but Lord Ducie at Sarsden House intervened..... I have therefore used modellers licence and changed it back......

I had acquired a fret of GWR window frames from Churchward Models and with photo references and my `Guessometer` I made a working drawing...... and work began.

Wished I had`nt used Slaters brick sheets as the quality I was looking for is not possible with this medium and the quality of embossing is out of register....... Hey! Ho! you live and learn.
