Scatchbuilding Goatland Station

What scale are you working in? If 2mm or 4mm, you may be able to save yourself a little work on the footbridge, as I'm sure that the NER pattern is available in kit form for these two scales.

BTDT :-) (well, the main building and the goods shed)

I've

There is a big book on NER architecture from the NER Association - possibly "North Eastern Record Volume 1", but I don't have a copy to check - which has a scale drawing of the platform side of the station building.

Egton Bridge, Glaisdale, Lealholme, Danby and a number of other station buildings are variations on the same design, so might be worth a look if you aren't building an exact model of Goathland.

The current version is in 3.5mm (HO) scale, and a future version in most likely in G scale. I'm creating CAD prints which I can easily scale up or down (for construction patterns) I've been looking for anything, if for nothing else then reference material, but the closest I've come across is a reference to a seven year old kit.

I've come across a small sheet of scale drawing of a similar building which have been a big help, though there's a number of errors, omissions and subtle differences that have been driving me a bit crazy trying to reconcile in the CAD drawings. At some point I'll average out what information I have and be happy with something fairly close. (about 90% accurate)

I'm going up to Goathland in the next 4-6 weeks weather permitting if you want some pictures let me know.

I will be going to see a local modeller who also owns a model shop between now & Christmas I will enquire as to what is available in kit form for LNER
