  1. Certainly looks the part and these paints are also available here in USA. Thanks for the tips to make me a bit beyond a quick spray of Humbrol track colour! Steven.
  2. Studied this branch for many years and have a large library on the subject. In addition to the picture of the good shed above I have posted most of my research at https://www.flickr.com/search/?text=Dunmow%20station&sort=relevance&user_id=26359504%40N08 Took quite a time to find a picture of the other east side of the goods shed over the years. Today there are two of the west side and one of the east, including the crane, are in the new edition (only) of Peter Paye's book on page 175. There is even colour 8mm film of the branch including goods shed detail somewhere out there as I saw it once in Witham at Stour Valley RPS. BTW Lavenham goods shed was similar to Dunmow I believe. As for the brick colour differences, that is an interesting subject for me as I do believe that the bricks for Dunmow viaduct were made in Dunmow! I saw the imprint on the brick's frogs. It looks as though local brickworks at Braintree (very close to the station), Dunmow and others along the line supplied local produce? CDC Street Level models do offer some basic card kits for 1865 standard GER buildings similar to those at Dunmow. http://cdcdesign.webplus.net/mainline.html There were a few plans and one to connect from Ongar through Dunmow and Great Bardfield to join CVHR at Yeldham... Plenty of scope for imagination there! Let me know if I can look up anything for you all or if anyone has pictures of the Banana Factiry at Easton ;-) I am building a course scale layout planning to capture the atmosphere and several features of the line including Cressing.

  3. Read with great interest some of this long thread. Studied Bishop's Stortford - Dunmow - Braintree - Witham - Maldon for many years. Lived in Black Notley, Braintree and Dunmow. I believe you found some of my older pictures of Cressing before electrification. There are pictures of 4mm models of Cressing Station Building and Signal boxes too. I also have modeled Dunmow box but did not complete the layout. I have a large library on the subject and am modeling my version in 4mm called Great Bulford which will incorporate many features, halts and Cressing from the branch in a compressed fictional arrangement. A few sketches and measurements of Cressing gates. Search for desired location within the photostream. https://www.flickr.com/search/?text=Cressing&sort=relevance&user_id=26359504%40N08 Reason I came across the thread was that I am looking for information on Easton's Geest Banana "Factory" building. If anyone wants to know more about the branch or can help me with pictures of the Banana "Factory please contact me. Many Thanks. Steven Duhig stevenduhig@juno.com
