A Busy Scene on the Railway

Emily is awaiting her departure time from the terminus station.

Meanwhile James, with his splendid new red coaches is pulling into the other platform.

Thomas with Annie and Clarabel arrived a few minutes earlier and he has now pulled forward to the head-shunt where is waiting for Toby to clear the run round loop.

Platforms

When it's complete the railway will have 4 stations and 8 platforms. So far 2 platforms have been completed and another 2 are under construction.

This is Stoke Prior Station

And this is Brookside Station. I am making the structure of each platform out of 11mm PVC soffit board.

The method of construction can be seen in this photograph.
The side walls have been screwed to the top piece.

The platforms are then clad with 3mm foamex board, scored and painted.. The platform surfaces are sprayed with textured paint.
