G'day everyone,

I'm on a long term project to build a model railway in OO gauge roughly based on North London in the early 1960's. Think GOBLIN in the Kentish Town area and you're not too far off the scent.

Having got as far as commencing on some basic scenery (think embankments etc) I'm now looking to make a start on producing some buildings including a Midland Railway built bonded warehouse. Pretty ambitious I know but having built points and signals I'm prepared to give it a go.

If anyone can provide help with scale drawings / plans for Midland Railway structures I'm all ear's! I'm also interested to know whether there is anywhere in the South East which sells mounting card, Slaters Plasticard, brick paper and anything else that will help me scratch build structures.

Any other help and advice which you think might be of use would be gratefully received.

Kind regards,

Richmond Commuter!

Can I suggest heading over to www.rmweb.co.uk? It's pretty much the foremost railway modelling resource on the web.
As for supplies, Scale Rail in Horley is excellent, Masters of Epsom is also supposed to be very good, as is Roxley Models in Leatherhead.

Many thanks for this! I'll give all of these a ring on Saturday morning and see what we can do. Will venture on to rmweb as well. Thanks again :)
