Western Thunderer
Entry sent off and enquires being made about baseboards;
Layout Name: Louville Lane (provisionally)
Size: Scenic board 5ft x2ft
Fiddle yard 3ft6x2ft
Scale 00 peco code 75 track
Desciption: Front and lower part Diesel stabling point, Upper part parcels platform and bay platform (Bitsa station)
Rationale: The GWR did rebuild not only Paignton station before WW2 but combined it with Torquay making a new multiplatform station Torbay Central.
Why the provisional name; I spent several Holidays in the early 50s in the Louville Caravan park behind Goodrington Sands.
Time period: 1963-65 Green and maroon Hydraulics.
Plans if you've not seen them in my Kingsbridge Regis Thread
1st a quarter scale model when it was 6ft long with long radius points
Now contracted to 5ft using medium points
Full size plan
and a couple of photos of the parcels and bay area hopefully showing hoe the bitsa station idea works.
Building will start in the early autumn, so for the time being there may not be many posts
