The Film Oh Mr Porter is a great research tool for working out what Cliddesden station landscape looked like at the end of the railways life. It also shows the scale of what the place was like. My model is going to try and recreate Cliddesden as it originally was, so things marked as Film props below will not be included. Although maybe in the future for a change of scenery I could replace the buildings with 'Buggleskelly' film props/ scenery/ buildings, and run the line with trains used in the film.

In your photo of the gate where you say it opens right to left instead of left to right, this may be incorrect. Don't forget that in the film they lost the key to the gate and have to lift it off it's hinge in order to place it across the road.
