Following on from the announcement by Kernow models of the London South Western Railway (LSWR) Type 3 signal box based on Boscarne Junction back in August, I am pleased to advise following a suggestion made, that they have today announced a further commission via Bachmann Scenecraft of the LSWR style Ground frame hut that was also located at the Boscarne Junction sidings.
The ‘Boscarne Ground Frame’ was located at the other end of Boscarne Exchange Sidings from the LSWR type 3 signal box already announced.
This type of ground frame ‘Hut’ / ‘shed’ / ‘cabin’ was pretty much a standard LSWR design and was also used for ground frames & other purposes throughout the system therefore its use would not be restricted to only a model of Boscarne Junction.
This is a very welcome and logical extension to the Kernow Model Centre range of Bachmann Scenecraft resin buildings and together with the LSWR type 3 signal box will make a nice set or either can be deployed alone depending on the location being modelled.
Looks a nice model. I do wish retailers would give the internal measurements so one could judge whether it would cover a point motor. I have ordered one anyway to test it.
I will try to get the dimensions for you but I think it might be too small to cover a point motor and may also have a solid resin base. I will see what I can find out for you.
Lovely model. Looks like the waiting room that used to be at Harmans Cross Station which was a ground frame hut before possibly at East Stoke.
I also like the N and OO gauge flat topped clay wagons. To me they are passable representations of the china clay wagons at Furzebrook although there are some detail differences.
In 00 gauge Harmans Cross Shelter is 32 mm x 36mm. It is a similar design but has fewer window panes.
