The Coaling Stage on Branksdowne Park British OO scale model railway
Branksdowne Park is my new OO scale layout set in the Bournemouth area around 1967. As an overflow shed for Bournemouth itself it features a small coaling stage. It's been built from old Airfix kits - mostly their Station Platform kit and Platform Canopy kit, but also features parts from their Engine Shed and Girder Bridge kits - all from my scrap box (But all still available from Dapol in their Kitmaster range). The cladding is Slater's plasticard and the the whole thing has now been bedded in to the scenery and fitted with a grab shovel on the hoist from an old Langley Models kit.
Although it's a freelance design, it borrows much from similar constructions at Basingstoke and Guildford that were well-photographed at the time.
