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.
