Hi Steve, I think your ideas to re-use your late Dad's items is great and hope you manage to build something fitting. I believe the station building is actually modelled on a SMJ railway one, possibly Byfield or similar. There were plans in an old Railway Modeller magazine in about 1968/69 from memory. Alan.

Not posted for a while, couple of recent pics below.

Does anyone know if the Sydenham laser cut station shown last week is available as a kit?

Don't forget you can catch Wilne Lane Yard at the Olney show tomorrow.

Looking forward to meeting you in Olney.

Wilne Lane will be at The Silverfox DCC exhibition in Milton Keynes on August 19th. Drop by and say hello if you are visiting.

I'm not doing many but next one is Sunday, March 5th at the Chesham show.

Thanks to all for the positive feedback today. We had a good time with Wilne Lane Yard.

I will be exhibiting Wilne Lane Yard at the Princes Risborough Exhibition this Saturday. Come and say hello if you are visiting.

I also think the line at the front adds more to the layout than the original plan.

Ray, I am aware that Slater's do both in embossed plastic sheets: S0434 4mm space planked sheets (planks are 4mm wide) and S0437 7mm scale corrugated sheet.

Ray, I think lowering the building somewhat is the right thing to do. I also wonder if you would be better cladding the walls to give either a wood planked effect or corrugated iron to reflect the light railway status.

I picked one up from Magazine Heaven at Rushden Lakes on Thursday. Almost walked off empty handed when there was no copies with the rest of the model railway magazines on offer. I just decided to have a quick look at the "real" railways section on the other side of the store and spotted about half a dozen copies. The assistant seemed uninterested when I pointed out they were in the wrong section though.

Newly constructed pipe wagon kit is shunted. Parkside kit which had been residing in the cupboard for a few years.
