HI, Is there any one of the scratch building aces on here, that could help with this, please? I am looking to get these buildings done, as party of my proposed layout. At the moment, I only have a few photos, of the main station building and ticket office, and the footprint of the building. I have no indication of height. what is the best way of scratch-building the station house/ticket office? I believe everything was demolished, late 70's- early 80's. Any advice at all, would be great Dene

I've been interested in this station for a while- I think the line to Caernarfon should have stayed open. Do any of our experts on the North Wales Coast line, have any information on the track layout, prior to closure, if possible. Any information would be gratefully received Thanks Dean

Hi Gordon, that's what I intend to do.

Dear All I could do with some advice on signalling this layout, once complete- It has a yard area, and a coal siding that locos reverse in to? its an end-to-end layout. If any one can help, please? Period is late 60'sto early 70;s Western Region Thanks, Dene ,

Hi All Have any of our local experts on this CLC station, have any information on the layout? I got an old drawing from the “Disused Stations” website, but it’s not very clear. The little bay at the end of the down platform seems a little peculiar, as does the banking at the back of platform, and the heads hunt at the entrance to the goods yard? Any information gratefully received!

Have posted a revised plan below

Done!

A more detailed version- the trackwork at the Redruth end is not that clear, but would involve curved points, to give access to the yard. There is also a bit of disused trackbed at each end, plus an old goods yard just before the entrance from the Penzance direction.

Above is the first "aerial shot" of a plan on a curved version, with all other redundant tracks taken out- the layout flows much better than the previous draft, I plan to have a 3, or 4-road fiddle at the Redruth end. I estimate that the layout will fit in the 14' space available in the garage.

Hi, I have been working on a more flowing plan, which I think will look better- will post it tomorrow. Thanks for your suggestion!

Thanks David- what is shown is the scribble sheet, the drawing was added to, at intervals to envisage what may have been there. As with a lot of "period" layouts, I do intend to use some leeway with what locos are run- The layout is sated 1968-75. It is not intended as an exhibition layout, but I will keep it well within scope. Someone has suggested a slightly curved approach to the layout, and I am going to visit this idea, to see what the result is. The red bits I added to indicate what had been stripped out- they wont be going back in. I don't intend using Setrack points, as I don't like them, and for sidings, I won't be going smaller than medium radius. This is intended as a garage layout, and I have a running length of around 14 feet available, if needed. Thanks for your help, I'll get back to the drawing board! Dene

yes thanks for that- the layout is expected to be around 12 feet long, and around 14" deep from front to backscene Dean
