5th Class Station Available in Store

The 5th Class Station kit was designed based on an 1891 plan for the construction of the Mullewa-Murchison Railway for 5th and 6th Class Stations. The 5th Class station consists of a store room and a lobby with weather boards over a timber frame and being a small station I decided to reproduce the frame work and the weatherboarding to create this highly detailed kit which whilst it may be small can still provide an attractive center piece to a model layout. The kit is laser cut with laser engraved weatherboards. The down side is that engraving the weather boards means this kit takes a long time to produce but which I hope others will appreciate.

Swan View Signal Cabin Coming Soon!

Currently being designed is Swan View Signal Cabin. The plans available show a few versions of this but the kit will initially be available as a Platform signal cabin and include versions with and without the awnings. This was standard design and other versions will be worked on in the future to include a free standing cabin with stairs or ramp and with the option of a full window bank on the far side wall. Hopefully the first test print will be run this weekend
