6th Class Station Released

Following the design of the early 5th Class station used in WA based on plans for the Mullewa-Murchison Railway, the 6th Class version has also been released. The key difference between the two is the 5th class has a the shelter and a store room whilst the 6th class was a shelter only. This design was also used in New Zealand and a third version with two rooms either side of the shelter will be added to the collection of kits available in the future.

5th Class Station

Image may contain: outdoor
















The 5th Class Station kit was designed based on an 1891 plan for the construction of the Mullewa-Murchison Railway for 5th and 6th Class Stations. The 5th Class station consists of a store room and a lobby with weather boards over a timber frame and being a small station I decided to reproduce the frame work and the weatherboarding to create this highly detailed kit which whilst it may be small can still provide an attractive center piece to a model layout. The kit is laser cut with laser engraved weatherboards. The down side is that engraving the weather boards means this kit takes a long time to produce but which I hope others will appreciate.
