When the track was laid a paper template was made by placing a sheet of paper over the track, using the outer rail and a pencil a line was drawn. Then the process was repeated for the baseboard edge. The template was then cut out and checked against the track and baseboard edge. After several iterations, it was used to cutout the platform base.

The photograph below shows the site of the platform at Clovelly Road, just before the overbridge on the Hallwill Junction side.

Below is the photograph showing the basic construction of the platform. The strip along the inner radius top will eventually form the basis of the coping stones, when the individual stones are scribed onto it's surface.

This photograph shows the platform placed in position, on the mounting blocks.

The view below shows the platform with the width of the end section trimmed. This was done on the prototype to save money, as the company was in financial difficulty.

This view shows the platform mounting blocks trimmed and glued in position.

This next photograph shows the platform glued in position. It took many iterations of trying to run the train through. Then marking where it hit the platform. Then removing excess material, using a scalpel as a plane, before the train ran smooth through, without any hesitation.

The view below shows the relationship between train and platform, when the above process was complete.

The attached thumbnails are views of the primitive waiting shelter provided for passengers at Clovelly Road. Since the prevailing weather is from behind the shelter, it worked well.

Below is a photograph of my best friend, who kept me going through my recent problems with a rough cyclist. See is siting on the floor of one of our local buses.
