RMweb Gold Dicky L Posted April 21, 2020 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted April 21, 2020 Having looked at Chesborough Town Centre in the last couple of posts here we move onto looking at Chesborough North Station. 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomScrut Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 (edited) I am planning a layout with a similar scene to this, with a station in a walled "cutting" lower than street level. I think the walls work well for hiding the fiddle yard which in my case will be parallel to the station in the circuit. Are there any real life stations anybody knows of that are like this? Nearest I can think of are the sub surface underground lines. Especially a larger station (mine is going to have more platforms if I build it). Whilst I have had some good ideas based on this layout to improve my design I am struggling for real world inspiration! I suppose the just outside Paddington is a bit like that. Any in the north anybody knows about? Sorry I aren't that well travelled on different lines so my knowledge isn't great here Edited April 21, 2020 by TomScrut Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst I have had some good ideas based on this layout to improve my design I am struggling for real world inspiration! A lot of my inspiration for CN came from JackB95 and his station layout as seen on page 1 of this thread. People have mentioned in the past Wigan Wallgate, although that’s not a station I know myself. Steps down to an Island platform is very much a feature of Halifax Station. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomScrut Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Thanks, whilst the two you said aren't quite what I am looking for it did lead me to Bolton which does look like the sort of thing I am thinking of. Most of the stations I could think of were above street level or at it! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
