The platform lamps look very nice, but the bench looks somewhat basic - 3x 5 gallon cans and a plank? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just imagine some old dear walking on to the platform, opening the door, only to be told "Sorry madam, this isn't the train, that's it over there with that smokey thing on the front"! 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also mine does not have the luxury seat by the lamp. 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better than many of today’s options either no seat at all or on slope to deter sleeping. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium keefer Posted March 8, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 8, 2020 (edited) http://www.nonington.org.uk/nonington-and-the-railways/ Has this pic as: "Knolton Halt just before closure [30th October 1948], looking towards Shepherdswell."

RMweb Gold TheSignalEngineer Posted March 8, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 8, 2020 (edited) For those who like have a random mixture of stock and want to run big trains, take a look at the first picture in this article taken in the summer of 1963. First a Choc and Cream Mk1 BCK, a Blood & Custard SK or SO followed by a maroon one, then I think the fourth coach is a Gresley. https://www.therailwayhub.co.uk/4347/sentry-at-the-gate-how-the-north-warwickshire-line-avoided-closure/ Edited March 8, 2020 by TheSignalEngineer 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did spend a few bob on the canopy and valencing around it. Proper station style. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

[Salisbury 1988, grab from video, 7mins in, here ] Good news a prototype for a badly done renumbering job. The 33 and the 111 look like they are a different size and the 111 are very close together. As an aside these videos are brilliant. . 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
