What a wonderful gift and relationship you've been able to form with Laura and Gill and the Old train station. It's very interesting to see the original plans and know what it looked like. It will be interesting to see a miniature station and actually an art piece for them to cherish and display. Nicely done that you've taken such an interest in their project. Look forward to seeing the videos and the build.

So pleased the stuff those Railway Company plans on the The National Archives website proved to so useful. Also dead impressed that TNA turned round your digitisation request so quickly, though they've not updated their catalogue yet to show they have been digitised. Very impressive how close you were.

Interesting, I'm excited to follow along because I love Laura and Gil's channel. PLEASE include a miniature Beagle for Buddie and, I think Lab, for Winston (ball included), haha. There cannot be a station without them regardless of the era! Laura will laugh at my suggestion because I'm ALWAYS commenting about their dogs. See you next video.

In your drawing you have drawn the door of the porters office in the opposite direction as in the original drawing. It also makes sense that that door is symmetrically mirrored with that of the station master office.

G'day Julian. Magic discovery and not nerdy for the son of an architect. A question about safe working on the line which may suggest potential uses for the outside additional buildings. If the original line was single line or absolute block working, then the larger of the buildings may have been a platform mounted signal box/token exchange point. A lamp room is definitely a strong possibility for the smaller structure. Interior fitout of the station building was quite possibly (given the damp nature of the UK} dressed flagstone floors, glazed ceramic tiling from floor to about 2 1/2 -3 feet above floor with timber panelling to ceiling height. Onya Kiwi👍👍

Not sure , most to me were panneled in various ways (wainscotting , or vertical running slats, with plaster painted fitted above waistrail height but the entrance lobby might be pannelled to full height ). ( see north woolwich station/ some southern stations on the bluebell line )

@StationRoadModelRailway 7 күн бұрын
As far as I could tell, the station didn't have a signal box, certainly not in the near vicinity of the station building. Double track line, there was a footbridge to platform 2 and a watercrane on platform 1.

Not that i doubt your building capabilities Julian, far from it but may i suggest grabbing a word with Tony North Eastern on KZbin, the same guy is doing a very similar scratch build of Tyne Dock station. Even if it's just for a few hints n tips. Really looking forward to see how this gets made going forward.

To the right of the text "Booking Hall" is what looks to me like a divider or railing in front of the ticket window (Whose position I think you guess correctly) to have people approach only from one direction, enforcing a queue instead of a drove.

Closer to what I had said a couple of weeks back on their channel, although I'd thought the Gents were in the out house and all the bottom left was a staff/porters. Mind you having seen all those glazed tiles did kind of seal a change that the first quarter from the left were toilet based.

I initially thought the out-building was a gents toilet before they discovered the glazed bricks. I believe the 2 rooms in the out-building would have been for coal and lamps.

@@StationRoadModelRailway Yeah pretty much the same until seeing that whole area covered in glazed tile. I sent them an Email with a picture of Efail Isaf Railway Station which is the same design of building. I note that the Signal Box at their station was way off down south of the main building. Where do you think the water for the water supply to the platform watering cranes for engines, I looked at the maps from 1840 to 1914 era and I don't see a Dando Windmill or a sizable above ground water tank. I think Laura thinks that the water was tanked under the platform, I think it came from the near river but there must be a supply point somewhere that a tank of some description?

I am sure there is a Metcalfe design similar to this. The Barry Railway design appears not that disimilar to later ones used by the Great Central Railway (which was finished / built in stone).
