I guess most wharves or quays in the GWR/WR region would be built of stone, but were there any built of wood?
You can see in the G3 forum, my layout 'Aldebrough Wharf' has a wharf with a wooden frontage as it's Suffolk based, like for example East Lynn by Trevor Nunn. The layout is designed to be generic, with removable buildings and platforms, to accommodate my dabblings in different epochs etc. However part of the wharf is fixed as wood and cannot be changed.
A while back I impulse bought a GRS class 121 bubblecar, which never went anywhere near east Anglia, and a pannier tank and WR buildings are avaliable from GRS.
There is very little in the way of kits for Great Eastern pre 1910, so it's all scratch built, which can be hard work, it would be nice to have a parallel layout using the existing infrastructure, where I could just buy stuff and assemble it, as a break from the scratchbuilding.
And I keep daydreaming about building an AC railbus...
So, does anyone out there know of suitable locations?
