Yes, I make and do sell them.  If you are interested, please let me know and I'll give further details

Although it is quite large, due to the very varied sizes of the buildings that were built, this would certainly fit  on a 00 gauge layout,

I believe the Helston Railway Project might create a museum in due course, so it could well be possible!

Many thanks, Mikkel

It was an unusual project, working backwards, but I felt that it was a nice idea to resurrect the old station, albeit in minature!

The most unusual and challenging part was working out placing the track, especially between the platform and cutting, but got there in the end.  My only drawback was to have to shorten the layout at either end, due to the confines of the Museum's display cabinet.  The trackbed from the booking hall to the road bridge needed to be another 7 or 8 inches, to allow the catch points and curved points more room and be more to scale.

I'm thinking of constructing another St Agnes station layout for home in 'N' gauge.  This will allow me to create the whole layout, so will keep you informed.  I have already reduced down my original Booking Hall design and will cut it out as a trial.

Many thanks again, Mike

The model is finished as it was in 1949, with the station complete with footbridge and all track laid, which was quite difficult working within the limits of the cutting, rather like it must have been in real life.

I have created anothe entry, labelled:  St Agnes Station, Cornwall from dereliction to 1949.  This shows what it was like in the 1970's, to 1949, when in full working order
