Hi Alistair, 

I have been following your on building Bakewell for some time now as I have been building my layout for over 3 years. I am now at the stage of building Bakewell station and I am about to start assembling it. At the moment it is a laser cut shell as my brother in law produced the model in CAD; then York model made a  laser cut kit from 2mm MDF complete with the windows, canopy and doors. 

 

I would be grateful if you can give me any tips from your superb model. I will be adding interior details, lights and all other features. My club colleague advised me to download interior details from the scalescenes website. 

 

For your information unfortunately I could not access my log in ID so created a new one as Rob Brooks 1 and NOT Black 5. You can follow my blog as I have created a relica of Monsall Head viaduct  in another part of the layout . However, for the moment I am working on the station, goods/coal yard and goods shed. The station is my first project and the others will follow in due course. I enclose some photos,

 

I very much look forward to your comments.

 

Best regards, Rob

Hi Rob,

 

Well I must say you've made a superb job of the station building, that looks really excellent, it captures the look and feel brilliantly.

 

I also like the Stationmaster's house and garden, that's a great job - something I've yet to get looking right on my version.

 

I'll definitely take a look at your blog, I want to see your model of Monsal Head!

 

Cheers,

 

Al.

Just stumbled upon this and so glad I did . Some of the best modelling I’ve ever seen . I grew up walking and cycling this line . My dad , who’s not an enthusiast , remembers travelling south for a job interview in Derby in a maroon mk1 compo and what he believes was a peak.

I've just discovered this thread too, agree with above, fabulous modelling! I lived up near Ashbourne for twenty odd years and we return to Buxton hopefully before Christmas. Well done Alister, first class.

 

Kind regards,

 

Richard B
