Sandown I.O.W would make a good project, this track plan of 1910 existed as I can remember upto about 1966.

A couple of smaller stations in the Southern region.

Shoreham - cross country line to Horsham split from the coastway west line (Brighton to Portsmouth)
Aldrington - Branch line to Devils' Dyke, also from the coastway west line
Appldore - New Romney branch splits from the Hastings to Ashford line (this is still a junction, the branch to Dungeness Powerstation starts here)

You can't get much smaller than Dovey Junction.  From when RETB was installed in the 1980s (and possibly before that) until it got a loop a few years ago, it was no more than a single set of points.

Combe jn or Boscarne junction are pretty and pretty small/ basic.
Bala junction simple but expansive
Mound junction on the Highland. was a simple affair.
Manulla junction in Ireland  has even less point work than Dovey junction
Crianlarich  simple plan with good operational interest

For my one pence worth !

Hola Amigos,

Thanks for the suggestions, they are very inspiring and I will be taking a look this weekend.

Ok, so a little about what I have in mind, at the moment the design in my head can either be a end to end or an oval layout. The length of the station area itself would probably only about 4 feet long and I would want to exhibit it.
One of the best things I've notice in these small stations is that they don't change very much, so I can model it all the way from the 1880s right up to 2000.

Also the smallest junction station that i've found so far is Coombe Junction Halt on the Looe Valley Branch. https://signalbox.org/diagrams.php?id=372

Broome junction in the West Midlands is a good one with an island platform.

How about Queensbury which had a triangular junction - Bradford to Halifax, Bradford to Keighley, Halifax to Keighley. G.N. LNER and lasted into B.R.

I used to be indecisive - now I'm not - I don't think.

Smallbrook Junction on the IOW. Bit of a modelling challenge though  :confused1: :'(
If it moves and shouldn't, duct tape. It it doesn't move and should, WD40...

Warley Model Railway Club has an O gauge model of Broom Junction
