Living in Yarmouth I've got more than a little interest in the old Muddle and go no where and have pretty much walked the whole track bed over the years, still lots of snippets to discover if you know where to look.

 

      The old M&GN station at Ormsby (Almost next door to where Oby would be) is still very much intact and although now a private dwelling (The owner is very approachable) is virtually unchanged with intact platforms and surrounding posts for the crossing gates etc still there and might make a good guide and give you a feel to what a station at Oby might look like if it had been built.

 

   I shall look forward to updates on the thread

Thanks Steve. I'm familiar with the Norwich line and parts of the other lines. I shall certainly have a look at Ormesby although the layout I have in mind will be little more than a halt and a siding - there isn't much room for anything else in 4ft 8". This is very much an exercise in trying P4 to see how I get on. But I do prefer models that have some sense of time and place. So we'll see how it goes.
