Large Station - based on the Welshpool & Llanfair station at Raven Square, Welshpool
This is the first of three kits based on buildings found on the Welshpool & Llanfair Light Railway, though of course it can be used on any garden railway and customized to look completely different. The design makes use of the original architect's drawings, by kind permission of the Welshpool & Llanfair Light Railway. For those who are familiar with the original building the main difference is the style of the doors and windows but we hope we have managed to capture the essence of the original. The more skilful modeller could use more of our 2 pane windows to make a taller window similar to the original. Alternatively the double 2 pane windows could be replaced with single 4 pane or 6 pane windows to give a completely different appearance. The choice is yours! Here are four views of the basic kit, as supplied:
. . . and here are two views of the completed kit painted and customised using our textured plastic sheets:
To complete the kit as shown in the pictures you will need 4 sheets of Roofing (Order code: M15) and 4 sheets of Weatherboarding (Order code: M16) but it's not necessary to use our textured plastic sheets. You can use whatever materials you have to hand to achieve a superb result.
Dimensions: Length = 550 mm (21 5/8"), Depth = 425 mm (16 3/4"), Height = 200 mm (8")
