Berry Hill Station

Post by Sir haydn » Mon Jan 10, 2011 8:58 pm

Thanks to Greg alerting me to a second hand station Berry Hill now has its station building. I have tidied it up after 3 hard years outside and added posters, fire buckets and net curtains. Im really not sure about the clock, seems to serve no purpose.

Thats the point, if no one knows the time then you cant have a late train.

maybe rotate it by 90 degrees and have it hanging from one of the side walls?
Thanks,

Looking really nice Matt, the clock under the canopy gets my vote if you're gonna keep it. (Station clocks tend to look a bit "main liney" to me) :D

Get a real clock like I fitted to Tanybwlch you can use an old watch and make a case for it Simples! then if you run a time table like myself and have a mic and loud speaker you will be able to tell yer waiting passengers arrival and departure. Realism!!

Bing bong "Trains from this station will be delayed due to the wrong type of leaf on the line. The replacement bus service will be in operation as soon as they lay the road. Thank you for traveling on the railway."
