I have been looking for overhead station ideas for my layout as this is more appropriate for the space I have. I to have an attic layout, your station is so impressive I think it's brilliant. I've really been inspired by this and your complete layout. Great work!

Many thanks, I'm really glad to be able to pass on ideas and inspire other people in the hobby like yourself. As for myself, I can't put the project down and continue to work on the station almost daily in some shape or form. Will have to make another update soon. Cheers Graham 😊👍

You have the ability to model the entire station. Do the station and platform buildings too. Same method and it’ll look great. If it all looks as good as what you have done

Hi, great video, your extension looks amazing it reminds me of the Faller & Vollmer style euro buildings, it's such a shame the British model railway builds are so limited, you have done the right thing by building your own, thanks for sharing.

@@WHP1980s always inspiring to watch your progress Graham but think I’ve lost a bit of mojo on mine at the moment, not put much up and only been tinkering with sound on some locos but I have just purchased a class 50 fitted with the TXS sound decoder so hopefully it will nudge my enthusiasm again 😊

I'm sure your find your mojo again soon. Depressing time of year and hard to get motivated, but there's always the modellers man cave. 🙂😊👍

Busy watching it. What a cracking job, leave the black roof tops on as they finish it off. Yeh, the lifts would have been used for brutes. You could put small coffee shop & other stalls on the bridge, but would you be able to see them. 10 out of 10.

I thought that looked familiar, similar to Bishop’s Stortford pre-fire (mid 1980’s)and Harlow Town. Travelled through Broxbourne many a time and used the Lido swimming pool.

Nice you recognised it, yep shame about the Lido a big loss to the area. Still a good place to visit though. Cheers Graham 👍

Thanks for turning me on to Foamex. As an ex-engineer I love scratch building on my loft layout. Funny I am just starting on a three platform main station made mostly from 2mm grey card. I have ordered some foamex boards to see how handy this material is. Thanks Alan :o)

Very nice Graham.... Must be a good feeling to bring this into being after so much planning, the station visit puts it all into perspective. Good use of modellers licence too. 38:05 I thought it looked so much better with the handrails, it needed that or lower panels i felt. But the rails are ideal, leaves all that detail inside visible. Very watchable vids. Thanks - Steve

Many thanks for sharing this video Graham, can see the similarities now I have seen your video of Broxbourne station, well done. Like the idea of leaving the roof detachable to add detail of cafe, rooms, toilets and walkway. Will you be adding figures in and around the walkway, cafe and on the stairway? Just want I wanted, sit down with a beer (or two) and watch your video take care and looking forward to next one regards and cheers Barry..
