One station of the Devan & Summersett
Very Nice building RonIt doesn't look like card and paper, it looks more like plastic, very nice, just wish that you would spell Barnstaple correct

Just caught up with your layout Sol and I do like the developments especially that brick-faced platform you have under way. Much less obviously a download than one or two going the rounds.
The thick MDF looks to be very robust indoors as well; I tried it outside only to discover how quickly it warped :???: All the remaining exposed MDF is now coming off the layout for that reason.
Keep up with the good work and ignore all those who claim to be locals and able to spell proper

Hadn't even noticed the 'stable' v 'staple', but you call it whatever you want. It's your railway…

The spelling is designed so that nit-pickers have no leg to stand on when they say Taunton, etc was never like that so I can come back & say this is my Tawnton, etc.
The printed papers- while Scalescenes is good, I found that the USA software from Evans Designs such as Brickyard has 20 basic brick/stone printable in any scale that you desire like 1:98 or 1:31
This is another station building by my mate using Brickyard paper for the walls.

Got to go, I have an appointment with a duck-breast and a bottle of St Emilion, a sort of late New Year's Day lunch after our gas supply failure. I may be gone for some time…..

If anyone wants to buy the software it is very reasonably priced at $15, …..
I was hoping to find somewhere I might buy a duck-breast with a bottle of St. Emillion ;-). Sounds extremely appetising.
A great "How to" build platforms from Sol which might need to go in our index. Thank you. :cheers

If you have curved sections, is it a case of making a straight strip and then cutting vee's on the inside edge or will you cut each stone individually?

Gordon, previously I cut out individual slabs, the next time I have a curved Platform , l I think the Metcalfe slabs will be used. I will have such a beast on the main station Tawnton & not looking forward to that.……….

I had always planned to have curved platforms but my first effort completeyl overlooked this fact !! Fortunately, some of the trackwork left a lot to be desired so up it came - now I can do it properly. :cheers

This amount done so far.
A bit of cutting for the curved ramp & odd pieces
When completed, a good clear gloss varnish again on the stone walls really to stop ballast moisture from creating problems.
A light weathering using powders all over wil then be done, then a matt spray varnish over the entire platform.
It will take me another few hours just to lay the rest of the paving slabs , but got nothing else better to do :roll:
