  1. Looks good :) Sort of like a Newquay Station type thing going on.

    Coopercraft are normally quite good, sometimes they take a little longer because they don't have some in stock and have to make parts/kits to replenish supplies.
    I found this when I ordered my nameplates and other little kits. But not really in a hurry like that though when I was cracking on with other stuff while waiting for the manufacturers/posty.

    I'm currently waiting on some model cars I ordered from Germany for my Motorail which are currently in the mail trekking across europe. The particular car model isn't available in the UK (market is lacking some quite common 70s/80s cars at the moment).
    But sort of similar situation ^

    I bought Ratio canopies for my platform, but it's interesting to see the Wills ones. I think the Wills ones are a SR design but I'm not too sure.
    I'm planning on getting some Peco 'Manyways' for my island platform, I'll probably get one of their new Wooden kits to try. Should cover the massive blank gap on platform 2 & 3

    Look forward to your next update Steve.
    Cheers, Reece

  2. Hello Steve,

    Tis all looking ansom, you've done a lovely job on your bricks and the interior! Think I've posted on your 'question' topic with some details, hopefully Springside will be able to help you with your extra parts you require. I'd recommend having a look at some of their other items while your on there you might like to get a couple of extra bits... they do some very nice station name boards, lamps etc too!

    In regards to Signal Box name plates Cooper Craft do a kit for the cast type which includes a large amount of different letters etc and you get a number of extra boards in the kit, I think they're about

  3. Maybe it's like really old Airfix and Meccano... follow the instructions exactly and get it wrong, revert to the picture on the box :P The desired effect to perhaps force the builder to use their brain, challenging them and making them follow in the footsteps of British Engineering & Manufacturing. Unfortunately this can also have the undesired effect of anger towards the kit, manufacturer and their lack of detailed foolproof instructions.

    As for all the manufactures abroad, they make their instructions foolproof for dummies so they end up with a perfect model every time!
