Everything you see in the photo, apart from the sky , is all "real" and part of the model railway, mostly scratch built and scaled in n-gauge; (approx)2mm:1ft.
Here we see a view looking over the farmers wheat field towards Cliddesden Station. The local farmer is reaping the field with his Mccomick reaper, and 2 horses. Women from the Women's National Land Services Corps are following to upend the bundles to form stooks to help dry the grain.

Hello, I am the owner of Station House in cliddesden so was interested to see how you researched the setup of the station and surrounding houses. Do you have any original photos and or plans of the site. I was also lucky enough to buy the land where the old platform was (and still is buried) and the brick building under the water tank is still standing. Thanks, John
ReplyDeleteSo sorry for the delay in responding. Having completed the project(s) our activity on this blog is somewhat dormant! Our points of reference was the book The Basingstoke & Alton Light Railway by Dean, Robertson and SImmonds, which has track plans and old photos. Model buildings were generally scaled from photographs in the book and those on the web. I wish the old platform was revealed again.
