Small country station | |
This smaller station is based on typical buildings found on the light railways built by Col. H. F. Stephens. The kit is 'double fronted' so that you have a choice of which aspect faces the railway. One front has three of our 4 pane windows with a door between each pair of windows. The other front has 2 of our narrow 2 pane windows and a 4 pane window in the centre, again with doors in between the windows. The station has an awning which can be omitted, if desired, to reduce the overall depth. Unlike our previous kits which are made from moisture-proof mdf, the pieces are machined from 'pvc foam' sheet. This material, though more expensive is totally waterproof, so that no preparation is necessary, and the pieces can be joined together easily with pvc solvent (as used by plumbers for pvc pipes), making it very simple and easy to assemble. The building can be painted in the same way as our other kits or it can be finished using our textured plastic sheets. |

Dimensions: Width = 390 mm (15 3/8"), Depth = 280 mm (11"), (205mm - 8" - without awning), Height = 202 mm (7 7/8") Kit (order code WK17) - Retail price: £40.00 The textured plastic sheets used to finish the kit as shown in the illustrations are available from us. You will need 2 sheets of weatherboarding (M16) and 2 sheets of corrugated roofing/siding (M18) or 4 sheets of corrugated roofing/siding (M18), but it's not necessary to use our textured plastic sheets. You can use whatever materials you have to hand to achieve a superb result. |
