Hi Chris, If you have access to a photocopier/scanner you could reduce the size of the noticeboards to fit the space you have available. I think the ones you have shown are meant to be for outside display.

Fortunately I do have access to both for the posters, for signs with just text  it might be better if I drew what I wanted on AutoCAD and print them directly

 

And to be honest I didn’t realise the poster boards were for the exterior only....oops  

[chuffinghell]

I didn’t like the shiny nature of the stickers so I’ve given the lot a blast of Matt varnish to tone them down
 

Glazing added to the ticket window, I’ll put a half drawn blind on the backside so you can’t see there’s nowt behind it but a plan grey wall 

 

 

I have got a ‘waiting room’ sign/sticker but the text is illegible so I’ve had to give that a miss unfortunately

 

 

[chuffinghell]

Yes/No/Maybe?

 

 

I used blue because I’m fed up of painting grey or brown  although perhaps red would be more appropriate?

 

I quite like the blue but I'm open to suggestions

I decided I like the blue so no going back now because it’s glued in place

 

 

Although not correct I’ve ordered a set of the same posters in N gauge just to see if I’d get away with it

That's looking superb Chris, really excellent.

Just the waiting room to do next

Although it won’t be seen I’ve added a floor, mainly to help reduce any light bleeding under the building, help keep things square and basically because I felt like it 

 

 

Before I start on the waiting room I thought I’d better make sure the booking office still fits

 

 

Once the door is on you’ll hardly see anything other than a little though the glazing of the main doors

 

The light is currently connected to a 9v battery, once wired up properly it will be a lot dimmer

All looks very convincing Chris. Even though little may be seen at least you see something and you know it's there. Much better than an empty building especially with lighting.

[chuffinghell]

Well I’ve made a start on the waiting room 

 

 

One piece down, many more to go

 

I'm going to attempt this differently by cutting and gluing each piece whilst inside the building to get a better fit

 

I made the booking office using measurements and it ended up being too tight a fit

[chuffinghell]

A bit rough at the moment

 

[chuffinghell]

I’m going to call it a day and hopefully get to do a little more tomorrow

Fantastic Chris, love the ticket office. Good start on the waiting room, will you put passengers in there?

That's a good question! I'm making it up as I go so its not something I'd thought about

[chuffinghell]

As before it looks a bit rough, but hopefully it will look better once it’s finished

 

 

As previously the primer highlights a few rough areas

 

 

 

 

[chuffinghell]

Still fits thankfully

 

I’m quite pleased how the area around the window has turned out

Before I go any further I'm wondering if I should modify it by cutting out the center section and bringing it forward a few millimeters to create a chimney breast

 

Extremely rough sketch:-

 

Or would I get away with a fireplace on the flat wall as it is?

Sorry if I'm stirring the pot, but the waiting room is low relief. How do you plan on letting your passengers into the rear/streetside portion?

Chimney breast IMHO would look great.

I thought perhaps they would exit from the platform straight through the booking office (green line) but they could equally escape through the waiting room (red line) although I assumed those in the waiting room would be waiting for a train to arrive and enter the waiting room via the booking office and exit onto the platform when their service arrived?

 

 

Maybe? I don't really know, I'm making it up as I go 

 

I suppose I should have put a door on the same wall as the fireplace too

You have a 'Keep Out' sign on the BO door, so that's a no go. What I'm saying is that the chimney is on a wall that is only at half depth for that portion of the building, so that infers that there is a another room behind that wall. A Ladies WR/toilet perhaps, thus a door from the waiting room through alongside the fireplace.  Twin chimneys above to infer a fireplace for that room.

I thought it said 'Way Out' ?

Good point

[ian.dunn46]

It does, sorry but it's 1:15 am here and I not really awake enough to see the small print.

Your drawing of 20/2 shewed 2 pots above that area so you've allowed for 2 rooms.

Could you perhaps imagine the door into the adjoining room is beyond the Booking office?
