Kyle of Lochalsh station building drawings

[billywhizz]

Hi all. 
A request for help. 
Does anyone have (or know where there is) plans or drawings for Kyle of Lochalsh station building. I vaguely remember seeing some in a magazine many years ago but can’t for the life of me find the article. 
Any help would be much appreciated. 
kind regards. 
Bill.

IIRC the Highland Archive Service has an (almost) complete set of Highland Railway drawings and plans related to the line. I'm not sure if they are physically kept at the Highland Archive Centre in Inverness or the Skye and Lochalsh Archive Centre in Portree.

Now, I'm sure I also remember the station drawings in Railway Modeller. But they don't seem to be on the Highland Railway Society's list of articles.

The Engine Shed and Signal Box are there. Maybe I'm thinking of the Engine Shed articles as that date of 1975 is about the right era.

Model Railway Constructor 1975 May has track plan only.

 

Also look for articles by Richard Chown, he built a 7mm model of the station. I don't have any articles, apart from the overview in MRC 1971 March.

Railway Modeller - Feb 2012 has a layout of Kyle of Lochalsh - but no building plans - I think the station building is close but not 100%

 

RM May 75 - drawing of water tank with key dimensions

 

RM Nov 73 - plan of engine shed

I realise your post was quite a while ago but I don't look at this forum too often.

You could try Skye & Lochalsh Archive Centre, they posted drawings of Portree hospital and harbour house recently on Facebook. They could have other buildings available.

I had a thought that local authority Planning websites are often a good source of information, use them a lot at work.  There has been an application to alter the museum, only limited to part of the building being altered but hopefully useful.

Full list of applications here. https://wam.highland.gov.uk/wam/propertyDetails.do?activeTab=relatedCases&keyVal=J1OME4IHLI191

 

One day I may get round to starting a 70s/80s based layout but have so far only been collecting information.

If you go through the planning applications there are many drawings like this one for example

I was pretty sure I'd seen at Model Rail Scotland 2023 a stall with laser cut kits of Scottish stations and I thought one of them was Kyle of Lochalsh and it looked very impressive. But the only thing similar I can find looks like it might have been Fort William.

Hi. Thanks for the recent replies and info. I did look at the Pop Up Designs kit which I think were on a Preservation stand? at Model Rail Scotland earlier in the year (Was in the far corner of the hall) I wasn’t keen on the large tabs and thought there is a fair amount of work to get the kit to what I want it to be. 
Cheers. 
Bill.
