C&WR Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 Very nice - capture the modern re-use of old buildings well. Are the walls from your ramps/staircases scratchbuilt? I made similar for my promenade & station. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve22 Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 I agree with C&WR - you've captured the atmosphere well. Some nice detailing on and around the station, too; I'm thinking of the variation in style of the fence and the gate, the long ramp and sloping wall up to the station entrance and the realistic open space of the car park, taxi stand and cycle racks.

C&WR Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Missed your shot from 15 Jun. That looks so like the run in to one end of the preserved railway where I am a member! Newer pictures also great. How did you find making the retaining wall? I had to make six feet of it, & was very glad when done! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
