Amazing, I've been a forum member for quite sometime and never seen this thread, until now. Oh how it takes me back.
I remember as a young lad catching the bus to BW and peering through the railings into the station. Those boards in front of the loco in the shot I remember those so clearly. We caught the train to Bath and then on to Bristol. The layout time warps me back to those days, especially more poignant as I drive past the site everyday, and still dream. Platform 19 cafe always a reminder of the lost heritage.
This is a great project and I look forward to seeing it in the flesh, hopefully taking my grandson along for a history lesson. Keep up the great project, whilst I read the thread again and reminisce.
