This is the station after closure, it became a local boat repair yard such was the lack of space at West Bay. The intention is to model West Bay just before closure with the rather grand station replaced by something more prosaic in the shape of a colonial clapboard pavilion.

The space really is minimal, just 1100x222mm, enough for a lone turnout and a couple of rather neglected sidings.

are in my 'roundtoit' cupboard and will do very nicely indeed.

in the meanwhile, there is more to be found here.

The 'office' is actually a colonial pavilion, pre-fabricated and delievered to the site in sections. The chair is a copy and a tribute to James Henry Hale, who recycled two Georgian garden chairs from a site on the Portman Estate, london during the blitz. They survive to this day after moving around Southern England, they currently occupy a space in our garden in west Dorset.

Finally, what other building is needed to empasise the proximity of the sea - a boat repair workshop with accompanying small boats seems appropriate.

The odd blotchy weathering is inspired by a similar structure on the strand nearby, it always seems to be grey, weather-worn whilst the corrugated roof is rusty and covered with a layer of beach deposited by the relentless wind.

More to follow but only if there is interest.
