Grahame can you take a snap with a coin or something in for us non N-gaugers to scale off - I suspect it will show even more how incredible this modelling is at capturing real life in the small scale with selective compromises and well observed detail.

Hi Grahame,

 

I presume as you're working on buildings, that you have a basic plan already? I am generally nervous if starting on the buildings until I'm certain they will fit where they are going to go

This looks like the Eastern Station Control Room, or was the last time I had anything to do with LB, many years back, and is between the Cannon St lines, off the end of Plats 1/2. Then, maybe now, it housed the announcer and bank of recorded announcement machines, although these are normally triggered automatically off the train describer. There is a definite reduction in width in the cladding at some point I think - when the new building was inspected by HMRI they found it to be out of gauge! Getting people onto the right platform at LB can be a big task. Has the Up Caterham terminated in LB Central, instead of carrying on to Charing X? If so, make sure the people waiting for the return trip on P5 are told in time to nip across the footbridge!

I'll try and remember to do that for future pix.

Yep, I've got a basic plan, although it's not finalised and to exact scale. The buildings I've started are those that I'm confident will fit as the where they're going is basically fixed in size or areas around them can be slightly altered to accommodate them.
