Buildings for 00 gauge Isle of Wight layout.

Rather than purchase a load more buildings for the IOW layout, I have decided to use what I already have which will produce a mix and match selection of buildings.

There doesn't appear to be a main theme of IOW railway buildings. Most seem to be overly grand affairs which caused the demise of several companies and an investment which couldn't be recouped.

So- first up is a LCut medium signal box which, for the time being, has been  primed in white which will make painting the windows easier.


 The PECO wooden station building will be the station facilities, although there may be a cast iron Gents if I can find a prototype.

Purely a Wills Goods Shed which may or may not be added as there seems to be a pourocity of goods Sheds on the Island- we shall see!

Also from the Wills stable is the water tower which has been mounted on a brick base.

Lastly- for today -is a Skytrex Southern Railway water crane. I actually like the simplicity of this design and, yes, there was a few on the island- sounding a bit like Alcatraz now!
