Title: Great Central Range
Post by: portland-docks on January 27, 2014, 10:19:00 PM
im wanting to use the Great central range by bachmann to create my platforms, and i thought recreating most of loughborough station would look quite nice especially when lit up...however

when you look at the range set up, it doesnt actually create loughborough station accuratly, as loughborough has a canopy along most of the platform.

plus where does this subway building come from?

any tips?

The buildings are based on those surviving at Rothley, a smaller sized station http://www.disused-stations.org.uk/r/rothley/index.shtml (http://www.disused-stations.org.uk/r/rothley/index.shtml)

The station subway entrance is a standard "London Extension" style used whenever the line was on an embankment, e.g. East Leake http://www.disused-stations.org.uk/e/east_leake/index.shtml (http://www.disused-stations.org.uk/e/east_leake/index.shtml)
or Whetstone

I'm afraid so. If you want to recreate Loughborough Central then your only option is to scratchbuild...
