Hi Dave,
Thanks for the info. It certainly looks the part right now! I've been to it since it became a Wetherspoons, while waiting for a connecting train to Aberdeen. My plan is to loosely follow Waverley for inspiration, but reimagined into a more fictitious location. I do want to scratch build my station entrance though, so the advice is really helpful. I also wanted to have similar roofing to the prototype, as I think this style of roof works better for the style of layout than some of the canopy style overall roofs that are commercially available. I do like scalescenes buildings though and might incorporate their large station building into my "Waverley bridge" style station entrance.
I'm working with 2 designs in mind, one being for the current space the layout will be in, and the second being for a potential larger space we might move into later. So my station scene will be a module of the overall layout that for now will just wrap around the back of the scenic part of the layout to complete a loop, but which can be "retracked" later to make it into something more.
Thanks again,
Richard
