Great job on finishing the sides of the station Tony:thumbs

I think you will find that the best Scalescene kit to finish the platform side of the building is the large station…….the one with a tower…….I know you dont need that but it has a variety of frontages with different combinations of windows/doors and arches that can be mixed and matched.

I guess you will eventually have to come off the fence regarding Time period/Operating Company at least as far as the station is concerned. Signage and travel posters are going to be a definite time stamp

My Layout ws based on the same Cyril Freezer plan and I managed to fit some storage and turn around under the peninsular.

G`day Tony,
I`ve just gone through this thread and what a great railway you are building there. You ability with woodwork has served you well and resulted in a good base on which to build your railway.
I`m sure your terminus will be just as spectacular as the rest of your railway and I look forward to following your progress.
This forum is a great place for like minded people to swap ideas and it seems like you`ve already had considerable input from some of these guys.
I love your station building……a mini work of art just waiting for somewhere to sit.
Well done thumbsthumbs

:cheers  Gormo

G`day Tony,
You can call it Victoria Road if you wish…..this forum gives the impression that we are all just a wink away from each other , whereas in reality some of us are geographically half a world away. Therefore a model called Victoria Road ,based in Ireland, will not clash in any way with a model called Victoria Road from any other country in the world.
That`s my simple colonial logic.!!..  :hmm

Go for it if you like it.!!

:cheers  Gormo

Gormo is right of course you can call it whatever you like but you are correct of course…..it may be confusing…..particularly for old short sighted pensioners like me……..I logged on just now saw "Victoria Road"……thought Tony didnt waste much time changing the title and found myself in Scotland rather than Ireland:roll:

The station is almost too imposing to be called "xxxx Road" ……….xxx Street  or even xxxx Junction etc could be more fitting.

PS Granby is spoken for

Best Wishes

John

how about Victoria Central :thumbs

How's about Victoria beckham. ………….. No that just being silly. Sorry mate. Hang my head in shame. I sympathise with your plight. I'd just go Victoria road and maybe post reference it with ( 2 ) . It's enough to distinguish it from the existing version. I don't think Paul would mind. If it's a place that has meaning to you then it should be adopted.

Let us know what you decide.

Cheers

Toto

Hi Tony,

Why not have both names on the station boards, VICTORIA CENTRAL (Victoria Road)…?? LMS did use this form of signage. ;-)



Cheers, Gary.
