Brixham

Brixham

No buffers were hurt at this sign
Country flag
A plastic platform piece 200 x 420mm with a set of steps at one end. Condition....any....as it’s going to be cut and then repainted.
Just one more section, I already have two
I think this Is part of set 904. May also be under stock number 330904
This is for our new club layout, we need a station platform.....and our show is in 4 weeks!

Not POLA but I have some (4?) PIKO platform pieces which I think are a bit thinner?
 
Thanks, but need to match up with these poor defenceless already cut pieces261D0D42-BFC2-4E78-88D6-51FE1AD1CA4C.jpeg
 
That’s the one I found before, it’s got a different design of top surface, also dimensions are different.
Thanks for finding it again.
A club member thinks he has one, but all his G is packed away for a forthcoming house move, and he doesn’t know where it is, without opening a lot of boxes!
So still looking.....

One will turn up.....

I've got some already butchered pieces you may be able to use to cobble together what you need - unfortunately I'm on the wrong side of the Pond:(. By the time you got them through the post o_O it would probably be that dreaded day we're not supposed to mention!
 
The top row will be the station platform, the gaps at the two ends are where there are board joints. And yes, the central section’s steps will be cut off to exact length at our regular working session

The second row shows two off cuts which will probably be the goods yard surface, possibly at a lower level and different final colour than the station platforms....which are to be painted.

The bottom row shows more offcuts, which may be used for a foot crossing across one track. Or a surface near the loco shed. Bottom right is an original Pola section.

I hand cut these with a 12 tpi tenon saw, the plastic does melt so slowly does it. I suspect using a band or jig saw will result in a molten blobby mess!

Now cut, and shut. Painted with thinned grey primer, two shades used. The darker section is for the goods yard, the lighter sections are for station platforms, with a board joint each side of the central section.

Ready for installation!

You’ll be able to see the platforms installed on our mini layout at our 3CAG show in Hinckley on 18 and 19th November....

Corn on the cob now with special grey gravy...
And installed on the layout.

Main track is LGB, inset rails are tenmille....and all 3 sets of setts are positioned just below the LGB rail surface

Yes..that is a mini toggle switch...this is for analogue use and isolates the near station platform
Mostly, this layout will be digital...but there are several isolating sections should the need arise for analogue operation
The switch can be operated by a small screwdriver..or a pen

Next working party on this layout.....ballasting!!
