Re: terrier advice
Terriers are a minefield with some many variations, some quite subtle, so definitely a photo (or more) of your chosen prototype is a must. I have used both the comet and the branchlines chassis for P4 conversions. The Comet is easy to spring, the branchlines not so easy due to the shallow frames but...

Re: Early photographs
Really interesting. Apart from Granite Sets( clear in some photographs) , what material / surface is used for road surfaces?
Its not really clear from the photographs, but as a guess compacted earth or very fine stone?

Hi
Does anyone know of a source of a drawing for Sidmouth Station building?
I have drawings for the other buildings (from LSWR Society), but they do not have the station building. Internet searches have not yielded any results.
Any assistance most appreciated.
Thanks
