Cheslyn Station
Time for an update. The station building has now been completed (few minor details to do). This is the Scalescenes Small Station Building kit which has been extended - the Scalescenes Gent's Kit has also been added to the gable end. I'm a bit of a Scalescenes nut and very much enjoy making and modifying the kits. I'm crap at painting plastic building kits so really love the crisp detail of the textures - there is a wide range of kits and papers allowing you to scratchbuild and modify to your hearts content. The station isn't typical GWR, but not every station was built from stone. The fencing panel with the enamel signs is designed to lift out so it can be replaced with different posters/signs as the intention is not to stick to a specific period. The buildings are also not fixed so they can be replaced with modern variants if required.
Another shot of the building showing the Water Tower - this can also be removed if I want to move the model forward in time etc.
The next shot is of the finished embankment - this is my first big country scene so I hope I've made the foliage/grass realistic enough.
The last shot looking down toward the proposed coal siding and bridge. The signal is a Ratio kit and was really very fiddly to put together - any suggestions as how to power it from under the baseboard? I was thinking of using a point motor or a really long piece of stiff wire as a throw. I could also do with a bit of advice on the correct placement of the ground signals.
Any comments/suggestions are most welcome.
