Just received my Woody Bay station from our friends at Parkside Dundas today and it looks good. So can now make the platforms ect.
I will be attending the open day at Wimborne on Sunday God Willing so I will bring it along for those who would like to see it.

I agree. I got mine from John Duttfield's model shop in Chelmsford on Thursday and am very pleased. Whilst improvement can always be made, for those of us who's main interest is in operating (ok, playing trains), it speeds things up tremendously. As someone very new to the L&B, I'm simply amazed at the amount of RTR stuff becoming available, plus of course the kits. I commend those manufacturers who've taken the business risk to support the line in model form. John
Hi There ,
I'm also very pleased to see such a great deal of Lynton based kits appearing now. Times are certainly good.
The Woody Bay model is very nice looking, but slightly under scale. However this aside it should be applauded. If it's of interest for people wishing to improve the model I've had some scale chimneys made in 3-D printing to replace those on the model. They are of the correct pattern. In addition I have also had the roof finials made as well which might be of interest. These Chimney pots and finials can be ordered via the Narrow Planet web site .
If i can work out how to post pictures I will attach here . If you don't see the picture ...you know I failed, this being my very first post on the Forum.
I have got my chimneys and finals, now I have to build Woody Bay to go under them! I will be using Slater's embossed sheets and plain sheet behind in layers to produce the wall thickness. Which way should the floor boards run and what width, I plan to have some doors open. Also interior wall colouring? Externally what colour are the chimneys? Any suitable windows available? Unfortunately having to travel to the prototype to check from western Canada is not practical at this time!
