Kidderminser Town and Stourbridge Town.

 

The design was standardised to a high degree, and its use as far out as Ross shows it was not a 'local' design.

The Kidderminster Town station is of course a new build by the SVR.

The original station at Kidderminster was interesting and totally different (probably unique on the GW).

Built 1863 in a mock Tudor style.

……Anyway, I have been admiring the posters in the header photo. My curiosity compels me to enquire what the lady with the broom is advertising - can you recall?

 

 

 

I am guessing it is an advertisement for a Ewbank carpet sweeper?
 

I couldn’t see that particular poster but here is an earlier version

Fantastic layout, again I saw this at Telford last year and had the pleasure of meeting you.

*Your main concerns seems to be what can be viewed by the public, who unless they stand at an angle wont notice / or deliberately want to notice....fiddle yards are interesting!

To increase the illusion would the new baseboard have the line going through a cutting with both sides of the cutting included?

* Or you are just bored in lockdown  

Very nicely finished, a very subtle paint finish on the prairie !!

But whenever I look at mine let down by Dapol "misplacing" the front pony truck too far back and the rather crude boiler fittings (chimney and s/v cover).... I must get round to doing something about these one of the days.

I had similar issues about the 14xx's boiler fittings but I have fixed these to my own satisfaction.

The boiler fittings on the Ixion Manor and Dapol Hall are light years ahead.

Thanks for sharing your excellent work
