Botanic Gardens is the main focus of the East Yorkshire Area Group of the Scalefour Society. The layout is based on a former North Eastern Railway (NER) suburban station in west Hull that disappeared when the lines to Hornsea and Withernsea, and the low level line to Hull's Eastern Docks were closed in the 1960s. The track layout is relatively simple but the project combines plenty of buildings, varied traffic and a tramway. The layout is owned by Hull MRS and those working on the layout are members of both the Scalefour Society and the Hull MRS.

Nearly there...



I won't apologise for this post being mostly pictures!

The station building is very nearly there now! Chris has just about finished the works now - the flashing can be seen in its raw state and the NER timetables and selection of enamel signs.


The brickwork has been toned down now and looks spot on to me - Hull still has a number of buildings in this type of brick which have provided an ideal reference for this final work.


And one final view of Chris' work - I'm sure you'll agree it'll make a marvelous focal point for the layout!
