Had it been built, it was going to be a single platform with a shelter of some sort, a loop and possibly a siding. I suspect if it had been built, it would have looked - initially at any rate - a bit like Burtonport. 1 Quote
Midland Man Posted March 16, 2020 Author Posted March 16, 2020 (edited) Hi jhb171achill My diorama is pretty basic. It is only a straight line of track with a Hornby buffer but I might add a wooden platform of some sort made from match sticks or balsa wood. [pretty simple] Thanks for the comments Edited March 16, 2020 by Midland Man 1 Quote
jhb171achill Posted March 17, 2020 Posted March 17, 2020 I'd use a stone-faced one - a wooden one wouldn't last long in a god-forsaken location like that! Quote
PorkyP Posted March 17, 2020 Posted March 17, 2020 Sounds great, I'd also be very interested to see pics.... Quote

Hi jhb171achill A stone platform sounds like a great idea and will probably be what i do but i don,t have any plastic stone sheets by so I will have to do with what I got. 3 hours ago, PorkyP said: Sounds great, I'd also be very interested to see pics....

Galteemore Posted March 17, 2020 Posted March 17, 2020 Lovely stuff. More info about the loco please! Quote
Midland Man Posted March 17, 2020 Author Posted March 17, 2020 Hi Galteemore The loco is a waterford limerick and western railway 0-4-4 tank number 295 brian boru.I bought it at a show in 2018 as i dont like moguls 2-6-0s. It is chasis is a SECR m7 but the real engine looks like a SECR H class.The real engine was withdrawn in 1952 I think and I dont think It ever went on a midland rail line but I do think one of his sister engines ended her life at broadstone in the 1950s. It looks good with a GSWR carrige and a open wagon. 1 Quote
