airfixfan Posted September 30, 2020 Author Share Posted September 30, 2020 This station would make a great layout just look at the track plans. Indeed across the river Foyle Road was even more compact again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIR Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 Looks like Foyle Road is the next one up on that website. Compact and urban, it has a lot going for it. A lot smaller than I remember though. I'm imagining a 1990 NIR 'what if'... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However if there is anyone on IRM with photos of Carrigans Porthall and St Johnston stations post your photos and/or send me a PM please? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin R Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 This was the station many years ago that I wanted to model in 00n3, but I didn't have enough space for it, I think it works out around 20ft+ x 3ft at the widest point in 00n3. I would like to return to this one at some stage, but I have other stations to model at the moment, If I recall there was a magazine called railway archives, i am sure it was Issue 1 vol 1 it had a a big article about Victoria Road station, I still have it some where in the mess. This would be my main reason for taking a weekend trip to Derry to take measurements of the remaining buildings and of course to hopefully look at the 3ft stock in store as well.
