Settle Station

I visited Settle with the specific intention to get photos of the footbridge, but ended up doing most of the station structures.

The Settle and Carlisle Line is a popular one to model. The Midland Rail had a standard design for buildings, so the main station building at Settle is essentially the same as that At Appleby, Kirby Stephen and other locations. The waiting room is even more ubiquitous.

Here is that main building. This is the platform side.


The door did not quite print properly, and the bits in the windows either side failed to and had to be redone - and are rather fatter than they should be but that is a limitation of the technology. But if you ignore that area, otherwise it looks pretty good.

This is from the road side. No doors on this side, which is unusual. Was that to prevent draughts?


The waiting room is very much in the same style.


The water tower. I did a second version that is rather smaller. The Settle water tower is noted as the biggest on the line.


The footbridge. The lattice came out pretty well.


The signal box. I printed this in three parts, partly because there is interior detail. I plan to ad lighting, running the lighting up through the chimney inside, but need some fine wire.


And finally a small hut, notable for being constructed of corrugated iron. Actually looks better in the photo where you can see the detail.


For reference a couple of links I found:
