LNWR Dewsbury Station Building

You may have seen in some of my social media posts progress pics of this: a magnificent stone 1840s station building built by the LNWR for Dewsbury. I was commissioned by Simon George of Heaton Lodge fame to build this as part of the extension to his layout. Just calling it a ‘layout’ doesn’t do it justice. It was the biggest model railway in the country until someone who shall remain nameless added a few feet to their layout!

There is a short video by Simon about it on YouTube, along with details of his crowd-funding Just Giving page where you can be come part of this major project; details here: https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/simon-george-3

I hope to write an in-depth article on its construction for future publication in MRJ. I’ll keep you posted…!
