Towcester 1930-50 - making signals for Towcester

Recommended Posts

If it was still open, and not a branch of Tesco, Towcester would be my local station. Alas it's now long gone, but I'm modelling it in my attic.

 

This is my first real layout and I'm building it in 00. The layout is currently an L shape and the room is roughly 10' x 14'. All the buildings are scratch build and based on photos of those that existed at the real station. The tack plan is based on the LMS period and includes the turntable at the western end of the station.

 

Here are a few photos giving a general overview of the layout as it was a few months back.

Don't know if you've spotted the more modern layout of Towcester. A "what if" had it remained open.
