Patrick Davey Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 (edited) Just finished a nice easy build of one of the ubiquitous wooden shelters to be found on very many platforms of GNR(I) stations. OO gauge, built from Wills embossed sheets, various thicknesses of Plastikard and Microstrip, Ratio Midland Railway signal box windows and various odds and ends from the spares box. Shall be hunting down some poster boards, travel posters and a lamp (for above the door) to round it off. A very enjoyable way to mark the commissioning of a new workbench!

Glover Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 That's a very neat piece of modelling Patrick; using signal box windows is a great idea. I needed such a shelter for my Pettigo layout and intended using the Grand Junction LNWR timber panels, available from Parkside. I used them for the station building. In the end, and given that only the rear is visible, I used the Alphagraphix card kit. Cheers, Glover Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
