There are examples of this, where either due to closure or planed extensions not being built you ended up with a very modest terminal. The Colonel Stevens East Kent Light Railway Wingham Canterbury Road Station being a case in point. http://www.disused-stations.org.uk/w/wingham_canterbury_road/ Regards, d&h

I like the wall post box, smashing little detail. Have you considered moving the wall "in" to provide space for a postman's van, bike etc? Regards,

Sounds interesting. I remember an article in the Railway Modeller (which I've not been able to locate) some years ago with a micro described as a "two in one". This I seem to remember was two different scenes with a mirror image track plan. The idea being that one half was used as a fiddle yard while operating the other, and so you could have two sets of stock for different eras/settings. Regards, d&h

Last week tried the two stores on a visit to Northampton and none there either. As a stop gap fiddle yard have you considered a Peco lift mounted on blocks? Low tech but would get you quickly operational. By the way the model look great. Regards, d&h

This area of London is full of railway interest. The District Line even went to Windsor for a short period. There is a photograph on the London Transport Museums site of an engine at Acton Town with a Windsor Head Board. https://www.ltmuseum.co.uk/collections/collections-online/photographs/item/1998-87323?&apiurl=aHR0cHM6Ly9hcGkubHRtdXNldW0uY28udWsvcGhvdG9ncmFwaHM/c2hvcnQ9MSZza2lwPTAmbGltaXQ9NDgmcT0rdHJhaW4rdG8rV2luZHNvcg==&searchpage=Y29sbGVjdGlvbnMvY29sbGVjdGlvbnMtb25saW5lL3Bob3RvZ3JhcGhzL3BhZ2UvMT8mcT0rdHJhaW4rdG8rV2luZHNvcg==

Another solution would be to use inlayed track such as Kato or Proffi as it does give a very firm track bed. Admittedly this is not a cheap solution but if buying new for micro project it also has the added advantage of being readily salvageable for the next project.

That is a nice kit and very like Harty Road Halt on the Isle of Sheppy https://www.pinterest.co.uk/pin/327003622928736456/, This is a former Colonel Stephens light railway so if you went this route any thing goes, very old second hand stock from various "main line " companies mixed trains etc.

I must say a "works halt" was immediately sprung to my mind. I believe these worked on the Highworth branch. http://www.highworthhistoricalsociety.co.uk/highworth-archives/highworth-light-railway.html Not a cheap option would be a railcar, the old lima/Hornby AEC one, 121 bubble car or if your lottery number come up on of the Heljan examples.

Not bad f Not bad for £4. Does it have the "automatic"uncoupling system?

How about a rather more radical approach? IMG_1029.JPG IMG_1030.JPG Obviously it won't fold back up for storage or transportation. Needs bracing too. The rear siding would become the fiddleyard with a scenic break and the front one a fully operational one. It's needs more thought but I'm not discounting it completely. Any comments? steve Well you can get more expensive box files with removable plastic end caps. How easy it would be to remove the plastic caps and whether the box would stand up to repeated removal is an open question.
