So those looking down the station can see where they are located and not have to be stood directly in front of the toilets to see the sign? I would guess it should be located to the upper right corner of the building between the door and end wall.. Something similar to this..? 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedGemAlchemist Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 In my opinion Chris, the slightly grubby windows make it look more realistic. 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold chuffinghell Posted March 18, 2020 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted March 18, 2020 (edited) I wanted to use the notice boards that came as part of the Peco Country Station kit I hoped to use the pre-printed, self adhesive die cut posters I have, however, not wanting to sound like Goldilocks but the OO gauge posters I have are too big and the N gauge posters I have are too small But the home made ones are just right Just need to decided how many I need and where to position them, although I have something in mind I will paint up the boards in appropriate colours first though Edited March 18, 2020 by chuffinghell 9 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold chuffinghell Posted March 18, 2020 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted March 18, 2020 (edited) This is the kinda thing I had in mind, just placed on for now so I’ve got scope to play with the positions and put it on level There will be one to the left of the window too (to satisfy my symmetry based OCD) Edited March 18, 2020 by chuffinghell 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveyDee68 Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 Hi Chris What an inspirational thread! I am absolutely amazed at the detail and neatness of your modelling in 4mm scale. And thank you, too, for the blow by blow pictures and descriptions, even of when you decide to go back a couple of steps or re-make something. It has been a great read over several days, and I look forward to seeing how your layout progresses. Steve S 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve S Thanks Steve, Very nice of you to say Yes I do tend to redo things I’m not happy with (I’m my own worst enemy) I’m pleased that my progress photos are proving useful and in some cases entertaining Its not progressing as fast as I would like but a little progress is progress nonetheless Chris 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Rowsley17D Posted March 20, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 20, 2020 I think many of us railway modellers enjoy the build no matter how long it takes and has been often said, a model railway is never really finished. So just keep plodding on enjoying the satisfaction of a job well done. Once trains get running the build will slow down even more. Ask me how I know! 2 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold chuffinghell Posted March 20, 2020 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted March 20, 2020 (edited) Although I like the boards painted in dark stone should I be painting them in white I'd appreciate any suggestions Edited March 20, 2020 by chuffinghell Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Rowsley17D Posted March 20, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 20, 2020 There were, I understand, quite a few exceptions to the usual rules. It depended on what was available at the time especially at locations far remote from head office. Some stations didn't get painted for years after a company change came in. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That explains why I've found a number of differing images, I don't think the dark stone looks out of place but I've just messed about with paintbrush (I haven't got photoshop) to see what white would look like 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
