RMweb Premium carlwooduk Posted November 1, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 1, 2012 I am planning to scratch build such a detached property in brick for my N gauge Layout ( Vale of Oxbury ). There was a standard Pattern for these buildings and many still exist in both in brick and local stone. Google street view is great for a full on front view and I can see excelent examples at both Culham and Kemble. A trawl through the Model Magazines over recent years has only turned up a nice 2 page article by Chris Leigh called Domestic Bliss ( MR102 ) with a range of photos, again mostly front or side views. On my layout the back of the house will be the side that is viewed so, does any one have information as to the typical rear configuration or know where I may acquire scale plans? Look forward to reading ideas from the GWR experts on the forum. Thanks Carl. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim V Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Get hold of GW Architecture by Adrian Vaughan, a library should have a copy. There's a plan of the larger building you've seen in there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
malcolmy Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 There are detailed plans and 2mm/ft elevations of Arley station building in the book 'The Severn Valley Railway at Arley' by Barrie Geens, published in 1985 by Wild Swan. I'm not sure if this is the type of building you're after? It was (and still is) a house and station buildings together. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted November 2, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 2, 2012 The Station Master's houses at both Henley-on-thames and Twyford can be seen reasonably well on Google Streetview although the former - which is at the end of a close - is partially obscured by high hedges. Both appear to have original pattern windows and definitely the original brickwork (they differ from each other in the latter respect). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice period house you have there, Mike Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted January 5, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 5, 2013 Nice period house you have there, Mike Alas neither are, or ever have been, mine although over the years I worked at both stations and at one stage the Twyford one housed quite an extensive TT gauge model railway.
