Wow, that is looking fantastic! Particularly like the idea of a working clock - I'll borrow that idea one day!

James

 

[jimmielx]

Ian, just saw your finished model too - which is also superb. Congratulations to both of you!

I get the impression that the tiles are strips of wood with scoring to represent the individual tiles, is that right?
Also how weatherproof are the finished models? Do you just give them a good coat of varnish?

James

 

[Doug]

That would be the award winning station???

 

[jimmielx]

Huge respect for the individual tiles - that is dedication, but well worth it!
I missed the photo which shows this clearly, but I've spotted it now...

 

[Ian_S]

<p>James - Individual tiles!

I use thin marine ply, cut with a stanley knife, painted with Hunbrol enamels and then a spray on of matt varnish

Here's another station I built, which now resides on Mike Duffy's "Lazy Grange Bay Mk II"</p><p><img border="0" src="http://www.jacksonsminiatures.com/images/railway/ian_station.gif" /></p><p>
