That's got to be Lambourn then hasn't it?

Is it in 1/32 scale or 7mm? I just can't keep up with your high speed peregrinations:))

Yes it is. It is 18 inches in 7mm, I tried it in 1/32 but it was just too big, but never say never.... This building is also very easy to convert into a slightly more freelance design by virtue of removing the rear wall and adding a door- perfect for a small station.
I have actually done the stables at Abingdon and it makes a nice little model either as a stable or converted to a garage.

I wonder if it could be suitable for adapting to a single story Southern station building ? :)

Possibly, but to be honest if I had a drawing of a Southern station Id knock that up from scratch :)

A couple of shots showing the unseen bits. Firstly you can see how the recess is made for the glazing by sandwiching the core between two cosmetic pieces, Internal partitions are all slot and tab for strength. the chimney and fire place will be added as will some relief to the doors, but once the roof is on it is barely visible

From above, the floorboards and cut and i put some slate tiles in the toilets, the gents door will be ajar so a couple might be visible but I wont bother with partitions or urinals!
Irrespective of working with a laser or plastiard it is essential to start with a rectilinear structure and hang bits off that, it is much easier to join a series of rectangular boxes that cut odd shaped floor plans
