And the wooden station building at Wansford was formerly the waiting room at Barnwell.
Whilst on the subject of the SDR, the ground frame hut at Totnes came from Pilning Low Level. The tin shed on the platform from Bovey Tracey, the canopy from Axbridge and the lamp hut by the box came from Bridgewater.

It's now a very effective part of the Engine Shed Museum at Aberystwyth station and well worth a visit.
The signal box at Beamish came from Carr House East (Consett).
Things like footbridges and signal boxes were often kits of standard parts, relatively easy to dismantle and re-erect somewhere else, plenty being made redundant on the main line, far easier than building one from scratch, and with more "heritage value" than a replica. So it's not surprising that many and probably most such structures on heritage railways are "second hand". Station buildings are more complicated, as they might have to be dismantled brick by brick.Thinking about this thread, the portability of buildings and other infrastructure recorded here is really quite remarkable. The train sets of our youth were more realistic than we realised!
