southern platelayers hut

BR(S) Platelayers Hut

Introduced about 1946 and extant today across the south of England, albeit mostly abandoned and vandalised. This model is a replica of an abandoned hut on the London to Southampton line.

The finish is weathered concrete showing an orange lichen growth near the chimney. The window glass and door is missing and grafitti adorns inside and out, just as the prototype.

Footprint: 49 mm x 35 mm.

Build skill level: INTERMEDIATE (See Welcome Page for definition).

Customer Comment about Platelayers Hut Card Kit

"The kit went together really nicely without any fettling. I found the instructions easy to follow with good explanations. I used Daler board to build the model as I didn't have any 0.75 mm grey board. This actually turned out really well as the corner wraps were the perfect size. despite the board being a lot thicker"
