‘West Brompton’ – ‘0’
Our new small ‘0’ layout, ‘West Brompton’, is proceeding apace. With track fixed and wiring complete, the team have turned to the the station buildings. Whilst some construction was done at home, a Friday evening work session provided an opportunity to see this building temporarily in place.
Here is a phone picture of the District Ry trainshed on the unfinished platforms:
Constructed using original drawings, walls of the building are several laser cut MDF layers, the right side continues beyond the building to form a high, arched, retaining wall. The bowed roof is formed of soldered brass wire and structural sections, overlaid with wood planking, except for the central glazed area that allows light into the otherwise dark structure.
An unusual footbridge exisits at West Brompton; it has a double stairway in the same direction from the overhead walkway to the platforms. The walkway connects to the ticket office and to the adjacent West London line station. Brass sections have been utilised for the construction, supplemented by custom brass etchings for the fine stairway balustrades.
Thre is a lot more to do on this layout, For more information and pictures, please visit the layout page Here
