RMweb Gold Graham_Muz Posted December 18, 2021 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted December 18, 2021 (edited) 3B or not 3B... ...can you tell what it is yet... ...just knocking up a little something with bits from the scrap box potentially for Westhill Road Edited April 18, 2022 by Graham_Muz 5 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold SouthernRegionSteam Posted December 18, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 18, 2021 Looks great, Graham; have you based it on a particular prototype? At the risk of playing Devil's advocate, will you be adding an RSJ to support the brickwork above the point rodding hole? (There might be one there already, but it's hard to tell from the photo). 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Graham_Muz Posted December 18, 2021 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted December 18, 2021 It's based on an amalgamation of LSWR type 3B crossing ground boxes similar to that used on the Ilfracombe line such as Stoney Bridge Gates and Georgeham Gates. As for the RSJ it's not there yet but will be added using micro strip. I'm still adding all the roof trusses at the moment. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold SouthernRegionSteam Posted December 18, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 18, 2021 Good stuff. It certainly has a lot of character already, and I'm glad it's not just me that adds roof trusses that probably won't be seen! I was unaware of the two boxes mentioned on the Ilfracombe line; good to see one of them still exists and seems to be in good repair. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Graham_Muz Posted December 18, 2021 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted December 18, 2021 It will be located fairly close to the front right hand corner of the layout and will internally lit so want to include as much as possible. It will be the topic of a blog post as my initial intention was to use an LSWR ground frame hut but increasingly felt it wasn't the right size to match the 10 lever signal plan and a full size signal box would be too big for the overall scene as imagined, so thought I would knock this up to see how it looks. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Graham_Muz Posted November 20, 2022 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted November 20, 2022 (edited) The scratch build of the station building for continues pictured behind is its mirror inspiration... the to be lit interior is work in progress with the upper floor currently removable. Some basic representation of furniture is still to be added. The lighting wires will be hidden down the centre chimney.
