  2. Thanks for the responses so far - given me a lot to think about. I am building a small, therefore achievable, micro Southern Electric layout. It is to be 8' x 15" all in with operations based on 2 car EMUs. Not very prototypical but space is at a premium. The layout will have a terminus station with a single island platform and some sidings in the foreground acting as a stabling point. Scene to be the BR blue into blue/grey era. Low relief station buildings to be an anonymous 'could be anywhere' 1960s design. I have already made my own ARP style signalbox, again in the interest of being geographically neutral. As regards the feeder station I would like to make my own as it should be an interesting challenge. This is why I am enquiring about what equipment would be in a feeder station compound, transformers, rectifiers and whatever else. What do these items look like and how might they be made? I would like to model what is I believe the 1930s standard building, the square concrete structure that I have now several photos of. Was this a SR standard?

  4. I am currently started work on a small Southern Electric layout, something I have never attempted before. I wish to fill part of the scene with a sub station as an interesting scratchbuilding project in its own right. However, it seems almost impossible to find any detailed photos or drawings to use as a guide to exactly what to model and how it is arranged. As I am a long way away from the Southern I cannot visit a site to see for myself. Has anyone modelled a sub station before or have an idea of what the equipment is and how it is laid out on site please?
