This is an extremely versatile kit.
Post-grouping, during the 1920s and 30s, railway companies like the Great Western Railway were looking at ways of expanding passenger revenues by opening new, low-cost, halts to generate more traffic. These halts were generally constructed from wood, often reusing old wooden sleepers for the surface, and our kits replicate this in fine detail, including the wood grain of the wood, the fine rendering of the supporting structure underneath and the additional gas lamps, running in boards and fencing.
The kit is designed as modular one, with 10 separate modules joined together to form the full length of the platform, plus the two ramp sections. This means that the kit is extremely versatile, and can be shortened, or lengthened by combining with another kit. It would even be possible to introduce a slight curvature to the platform and this is explained in the detailed instructions.
We can see many layouts featuring this new kit, creating the bucolic country railway scene with a wayside halt serving a small community.
