At a recent meeting of the Card-Bach Society Colin and I offered to build a scale layout of Login Station to go into Peter Towns 'Railway Wagon Museum'. This restored wagon is alongside the house, and will contain all of Peters memorabilia relating to the Cardi-Bach, and Login Station in particular.
The layout will be in 4mm to the foot, and to scale. Not a huge undertaking, as there was only one through line with a siding, later turned into a passing loop with a head shunt.
I have made a start on the station building already, with progress pictured below.
First of all measurements taken by Peter were scaled down in Photoshop and plans of the buildings walls were drawn up, printed onto plain paper and then stuck onto card and cut out:


A start was made on cladding the cut-out walls and adding windows and cils. This is how the build looks at the moment:
More as and when...
