This was Peter Wilson's territory, and this sequence of pictures, taken over a period covering mid-1997 to early 1999, shows how the 'road board' has been progressing. There's a long way to go yet. Peter had been a sworn 'metal-only modeller' for many years until he discovered the delights of plasticard. Russ Elliott made the red plasticard guttering and demarcation brick lines between the 'railway' and the 'public' parts of the pavement, but Peter insisted on cutting and laying all the paving stones individually. It kept him quiet for a few months... this finescale lark isn't quick.
The drains, manhole covers, and telephone boxes are from Langley etches or kits. The cobbled section, just outside the entrance to the goods platform, is by Kibri, and sold as 'Z-gauge stone walling' (Kibri sheet number 6910).
The photos were taken before Russ added the capping stones to the station wall pillars.
