  1. Thanks gents! The roof appears to be what is best described as "Rusty Tin Grey) and the sides are the above faded black. I am going to guess that the timber/steel on the legs is also black.The next building to do is the motor goods shed, for which I have got the I section strip. Luckily there are some good pics of it, I just need another ratio roof.60091, it is indeed a bit fragile, I am going to epoxy it to the boards by the legs, which are a bit over scale for that reason. A shame that your model of the station was aborted, any pictures?On a wargaming note my WH40k railway has suffered a setback as the second board has warped, meaning a re-build after I have laid all the track.Andy, any more work on your great station building model? Kitchen is about 85% complete, all the important stuff is done but its all the pesky detail stuff that I have to do. I also have to finish my van so I am getting about 2 hrs a week on all my projects! Next bit is to do the final structures for Squeezebelly so I can get it ready for Taunton.

     

    Sorry no pics. It was a long time ago and never came together as a layout. It was never more than a collection of buildings and some stock put together in the various places I was living at that time. Went with GWR as that was what most of the old Triang TT stuff seemed to be. Liked the layout of Kingsbridge and was able to find plenty of photos of the original location. Later my thoughts drifted to building Kingswear with its' harbour and later on to Princeton...small and simple, set in a bleak moorland location.

  2. Just discovered your blog! I'm very slow at finding my way around the site. Kingsbridge - brings back a few memories. Started working on a model of the station in 3mm 30+ years ago. Ended up being abandoned, although I only threw the goods shed away a couple of years ago. The carriage shed looks good. From the 2nd and 3rd photos I assume it's permanently fixed to the baseboards which will give it extra strength? I remember my attempt at building it without Slaters corrugated sheets.

    The B-set was going to be a couple of Triang TT suburbans painted brown and cream!

     

    I'll keep looking in on your blog to see how Kingsbridge is progressing. Didn't realise you're an ex wargamer too.
