North Eastern Region station buildings


Recommended Posts

Hello all.

 

I've recently aquired one of Hornby's 'Lower Skaledale' wooden station buildings (a bit like the larger one on platform 2 at Goathland) and am curious to know whether this building could be used as the sole station building somewhere? My layout is planned to be somewhere on the far North Yorks/County Durham area and respresents a small, single platform station. Photos of stations in this area are incredibly hard to come by, but I'm just keen to know whether I could use this building standalone (as a booking office) or if I'd have to scratchbuild additional structures to do a decent representation of a station in this area.

 

Here's the building I've got...

Many thanks. :)

Thanks guys. :)

 

That'll give me some food for thought. I'm not averse to a bit of scratchbuilding if needed but, given my general lack of time, if I can get at least some of the way with a RTP building then it makes life just that little bit easier.

Have a look at the photos of my layout " Stainsby - LNER 1930s", which is set in the North Riding of Yorkshire, and are posted on the rmweb. A number of the buildings thereon are from the Skaledale range. e.g. footbridge, platform waiting room, goods shed and water tower. Apart from the footbridge, they have been repainted/weathered for the period in which I model. If memory serves me correctly, the original colours may be suitable the early BR period.
