Upgrading the Oxford Models GWR Station

[Seanem44]

Hi all.  I am currently upgrading my Oxford models GWR station which is based on Moreton-in-Marsh.  For those that are aware of this model, while good, I have felt it has shortcomings.  The paint job is so-so, and it depicts a station in the BR era.  I wanted one for a 30s/40s layout, so I set out to make some changes to mine.  It will be a fictitious station, so I am borrowing aspects of the actual Moreton, while adding some of my own design.  I have added slate roofing and will further refine it.  I need to still add chimneys.  I have printed off some.

 

For the station itself, I used the decorative brick from Moreton and hand painted it on to mine (red), as well as making other painted items better and smoother.  I have added a lot of weathering as well to add character and help with the poor paint job, as well as adding posters here and there.  Slowly looking better I feel.

Presumably your station will be reverting to coal-firing?🙂
