Never thought of that, good idea. Unfortunately I’ve already glued in some 9mm thick polystyrene sheets leaving approximately 3mm to fill with filler 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al. For the later canals e.g. Shropshire Union, yes; but earlier ‘contour’ canals e.g. Oxford wandered about all over the place. Warren must be early!

I thought that but it’s too late now, I’ve reshaped the landscape but it has given a little more yard to play with….. ….just needs a final skim tomorrow and maybe a light sanding towards the end of the week 14 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing I would be weary about with something like this is the station is small. It's the end of a minor line. It's not some massive inner city terminus. As such the cost is going to be watched greatly. Any chance to cut costs will be taken. Bricks are expensive. Bricks have always been expensive. Laying them is expensive.

MrWolf Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 I'm probably going to go for something like that too, I've had no luck scrounging up any suitable timber, (We seem to have a very low quality of builders skip around here) and by the time I have bought timber and fixings and put it all together....

MrWolf Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 Very interesting, a a penny under £50 that's very good. It says that they have them in the UK and are shipped from the UK, but £30 postage? I've posted car gearboxes for less. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I bought mine postage was half that and it came directly from the manufacturer (via Amazon) admitted it cost me £60 plus the postage but it’s nearly twice the length of the one in the link 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
