I noticed that I had made an error with the station forecourt elevation

There should be a window one window on the right of the door, there also should be 2 windows  on the left of it as well, so if I alter the gable end window I might  cut up the left hand half of the centre section with several splices to alter the configuration and positions of all the windows and doors

This is the platfor8 side of the same building, 8 splices in all, the centre two windows started out as 4 slit windows. Gives me hope to alter the front elevation

This is an initial mockup of the rear elevation, it has no doors just all windows, as it will not bee seen I may just take a simple option or add in the odd door.

The platform elevation in the wrong place on the first photo, both roughly in place in the second, simply tacked together

 

The next issue will be the platform canopy's. I needed then 2.5" wide but they are 2" wideI was going to put end on behind the buffers (but its 5" wide) and also have a canopy over the second platform mirroring the other platform. (bought a Canopy kit for £2 + postage today so have the best part of 40" of canopy to play with

That's proper kit bashing. Looks convincing to me. The canopy sounds like a good deal!

The canopy was 1.99 + £3.50 postage. The trouble is its a different style to Bodmin, which I can live with, very intricate with lots of small parts making up the skeleton. Worst of all only 2" wide where I need 2.5" wide.

 

As for the station building, the Ratio parts do seem to lend themselves to being cut up which I do with a very fine cut razor saw and a 2" engineers square. Also the style of the stone blocks also help disguise the cuts

 

I think I will have a go at certainly splicing the end gable changing the window,i f not the central part of the front elevation
