B15nac Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Hello I'm planning a layout of Newton abbot station an depot in BR steam days an I'm still struggling to find out stuff about it. I'm lacking pictures! I've looked on google images an there's only a handful on there of any use! I've not got any real good photos of the engine shed area or coaling stage! I only live 10 mins from Newton abbot an luckily the carrage shed an workshop are still there but now used for other things! Any help ,pictures or advice would be great an very much appreciated. Cheers Neil Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom J Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 I used to work on the platform at Newton - I'd be fascinated to see this. Make sure you model the bullet holes and scuffs in the canopy ;-) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
