The brickwork is currently the standard plasticard brick colour which will be getting painted over shortly.
Based on the station which serves the market town of Poulton-le-Fylde, located on the Fylde coast, this new exhibition layout aims to provide both modelling ability as well as operational interest. Situated on the busy Blackpool North to Preston line, the station managed by Northern Rail, sees regular services from Manchester Piccadilly, York and Liverpool Lime street.

Signal Box - Construction
Progress on the signal box is being made. It is constructed using plasticard with a fully detailed interior from a metal kit. It shall then have lighting fitted and the roof made. I am hoping to suitably weather it as well as everything is looking very clean at the moment.

The Station
I took a few pictures when I visited the station in June 2011. The trip gave me a good idea of the layout and features that this quirky little station has.
