Peco Plan 2: BR Branch Line - Metcalfe vs Peco

A slight diversion, I recently finished building the platforms and station building using the Metcalfe N gauge card kits for my Peco Plan 2 layout.

However, the station building was bloody massive. Definitely overscale, and too big in any event.

  

 

No room around the back, and not enough room on the platform. Oh well. I can save it away for another layout perhaps.

 

So I set about finding a replacement - the Peco plan suggested using their own naturally, so I gave that a shot.

 

 

 

Much better I feel - and I have space on the platform for some outdoor shelter/canopy with some seats. The kit itself was perhaps easier to build than the Metcalfe also. Naturally I'll need to weather both it and the platform to make the differences in brick colour less noticeable but I'm happy for now.
