Mike Ainsworth has been busy with the Station platform area.

Platform Canopies

He has built the canopies from scratch using brass sections to form the main canopy structures.

The canopy columns were reused from Eridge mk 1. 

These structures are suitably robust enough to remove them for transportation of the layout to exhibitions

They were then clad in plastikard sheeting and individual sheet join ribs were represented with semi-circular plastic rod before the structures were glazed. The end face were clad with 4mm wood cladding represented plastikard.

Finally given there coat of paint and weathering

Platform Edging Brickwork

Following the trial of the 3D home printed Brick Edging Strips (More Information Here) these have been applied to the platform surfaces before the face brickwork was re-applied.

The platform upper surfaces have been lightly coated in chinchilla dust and await painting.
