Helston (as it was)
The branch that ran from Gwinear Road to Helston closed to passengers in 1962. all that is left now at Helston is the platform and the Goods Shed, which acts as a community centre, the station site is now a sheltered housing complex.
Two years ago, I created a permanent display of St Agnes station, which resides in the Museum at St Agnes, I am now a member of the Helston railway project, which plans to re-open part of the original line, so I decided to make an 00 gauge model of the very large station at Helston
This is a view of the platform side, from the Helston end.
This is the view of the roadside, also from the Helston end
I decided to add lighting for a better effect and this shows a close up of the station entrance.
This is a view looking along the station from the Gwinear Road end. There are a few things to finish and tidy up, but as yet I'm not sure if it will be part of a layout, or just a single display item
I am also trying to get line drawings of St Ives and Bodmin General, so if anyone has any info on these two stations, I would be very grateful.
