Corrour Station

[David Elliott]

First, as a new member greetngs from Western Canada. Untill 1966 I was resident in York within hearing range of the station.
Mu request is does anyone have dimensional details for Corrour Station on the West Highland line? A dimensioned ground plan would help as I have found a good number of photos of the of buildings. I am building a N scale mobel and a site visit would be difficult and expensive.

I'd suggest using Google Maps aerial images and using a tool such as this to measure the dimensions .

I hope this helps.

Unfortunately Google is fuzzy at the greatest magnification and the other site given does not seem to show railways. I have tried this route but am not totaly happy with the result. The platform will barely accommodate two coaches and the road access is gravel.

Bing Maps has slightly better images although I am not sure whether there are such measuring tools.

Perhaps your best bet is to get an Ordinance Survey map. Fine scale maps are available but they usually cost.

Here is some mileage data that might help to determine dimensions:


71m 997y - Toe of points at south end of loop
71m 1148y - Toe of siding points in loop
71m 1185y - Start of building
71m 1207y - End of building
71m 1214y - Start of platform
71m 1243y - Start of former footbridge
71m 1245y - End of former footbridge
71m 1258y - End of platform
71m 1280y - Siding buffer stop
71m 1297y - Start of sleeper crossing
71m 1300y - End of sleeper crossing
71m 1378y - Toe of points at north end of loop

Thanks, a great help, My space point toe to point toe is almost spot on, then the track on the model will turn round to the back. This is a really small station, and it had a footbridge!
