Getting back to railway modelling after a 40 year break. in Get Britain Modelling Posted January 6, 2022 HI I am in the process of planning a small village station on the old Leicester to Burton Line. I have not been near a model railway loco since 1975 and latterly I have been building scratch build warships that I served in during the 60's. I do not aspire to the brilliant standards I have seen on some layouts just want a presentable facsimile of that area my questions will probably appear pretty basic (stupid) as the hobby has come on so far since then. I intend to build Kirby Muxloe station in the period 58-61 as I used it to go to school in Leicester till I joined the Navy. This period had a mixture of early type 101? DMU and 0-6-0 and 4-4-0 locos passenger and freight The only thing that is set in stone is the layout size as 2ft 6in X 11 ft. I cannot squeeze any more into my den First thing can anybody help with photos of this station/area. I did get some from the web but they were all from the west end of the station and I am missing large areas of detail. thanks Geoff 4 3
