Station Platform Furniture
Diamond Pattern Fencing
The fencing was cut from mesh in the bat of an electric fly swat that was left over after its conversion to a static grass applicator! Remarkably the mesh closely matched the prototype in shape and size. The posts were cut from square 1mm rod.
LSWR Lamps
P&D Marsh B42 with the missing plinths fabricated from wire insulation.
Station Name board
Computer generated label on card with square rod posts. On the prototype the name board leans back against the fence, as mimicked in the lower photo.
LSWR Notice Board
"L. & S.W.R. Beware Of The Trains". Computer generated label on paper with square rod post. A length or bullhead rail was probably used for real.
LSWR Bench
Frame formed from copper wire with card slats.
Telegraph Pole
Ratio product. Cliddesden was the only station on the line that had a telegraph facility for sending telegrams.
