Great Chesterford Junction Part Two

Thank you peoples,

A little edit here.......I have been calling Qouins....QOURNS.........Sorry about that......I stand corrected.

It`s not a word I was actually familiar with and I got it wrong.........Oh well ......you guys know what I meant......

Apparently....Quorn is a meat substitute product available in the UK, Ireland, Australia etc. and it is also the name of a town in South Australia in the Flinders Ranges.

Here is a picture of the lovely old station at Quorn which appears to have Quoins at the corners of the structure.........well there you go ....would you look at that??????

Thanks Ed,

The Metcalfe is going to work out OK......but it takes ages to build it this way. I seem to be a lot slower than the other guys who can knock out two blocks of flats in an afternoon.

I`ve got two more walls on the go and will post some pics up later.

Thanks Ian,

Very interesting about Quorn. Your Quorn / birth place sounds very nice, however the meat substitute with the same name is not receiving any accolades from the lads on the forum.

Enjoy your tintohttp://www.click

Well folks some pics as mentioned in an earlier post.

Two more walls......the Booking Office...althought the other wall still needs windows and a door.

These walls have had their wrap around end walls removed to aid with papering but more importantly to get a nice crisp corner at the joins with the gabled buildings. The walls are not joined yet.....they are simply stood up for the photographs.



Had to create some new sills this afternoon for the narrow windows with the narrow brick column in between. They are supposed to have a single sill.



Here is a cruel close up of a single sill on a single window, which is straight forward enough when you get the hang of it.



And here is the double. Had to do a removable section to go around the centre column of bricks whilst leaving a tiny ledge to sit in front of the column.



This is the back wall of the Booking Hall just awaiting a door and some windows



That`s it for today I`m afraid.........updates will follow as usual.

Thanks Guys,

Yes Pete......7mm would be good .......I guess it would mean a re-design though to fit the parts on A4 paper.

Have you tried scaling it up on your printer..????......I think it would mean taking two pages to print one???......then again maybe the quality will suffer if scaled up...........not sure on that.???
