Hi Larry
Sorry to see you agonising over this.
The same thoughts expressed by Rob have crossed my mind too, but it’s a shame to lose the those wonderful structures which you’ve obviously put so much effort into, especially as I rather suspect you quite enjoy the art
I kept thinking how you could possibly keep them while maintaining some air of plausibility - if you don’t mind me being so bold as to say so - and I think it was the style of the station building that threw up a possible(?) solution, albeit the station building isn’t quite as grand as yours:
Disused Stations:Cardigan Station
Even the signal box seems quite large for what is merely typical country BLT:
cardigan railway station - Google Search
If you throw in one of those lovely little turntables and a tiny engine shed, you’ve a full house.
It’s even in Wales
Best of, whatever you decide.

Edit: From memory, there are a couple of photos in one of Stephen Williams’ Branchline books re the engine shed/turntable. If you’d like to see them, just PM me and I’ll send you a copy. Jonte
