RMweb Gold sjp23480 Posted January 2, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 2, 2012 I am trying to find some drawings or photographs of the former station buildings on the island platform at Garsdale/Hawes Junction. These were similar to the regular S&C waiting room layout but I believe they were larger and were surrounded by a canopy. They were modified in the early 1950's to their current form - so I am not interested in the current buidlings! I have an extensive collection of S&C literature - including the Anderson& Fox volume of stations and structures, Jenkinson's Rails in the Fells, etc.... All the pictures I have seen show these buildings from the end of the platform - so they can only be seen at a distance and in profile. Any assistance or suggestions would be gratefully received. Thanks, Steve Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LesG Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Hi Steve, David Jenkinson wrote several articles on his S & C layouts so they could give you some info. but you'll need to search indexes for the model press, not forgeting the ones that have ceased publication. Have you looked for any local history books that are not railway specific as these can have a few railway photos in them. Best wishes, Les. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold 96701 Posted January 8, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 8, 2012 I do know that the buildings on Garsdale station included a water softening plant in the late 70s, so I'm assuming that one had been there since the station was built.

John_Miles Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 There is a book on the buildings of the S&C. I think the authors are Reeves and Anderson and it was published around the early 1980s. From memory it is called something like Structures and Buildings of the S&C and I think it has enough information to model any of the stations with the possible exception of Culgaith, which was an oddity.
