Reducing the windows to four panes really transforms this model. Previously I have ignored it as one of the worst in the range, but your treatment has helped me see it in a different light.
I have a suspicion that the only reason the station had so many windows is that they needed to increase the parts count, or people would feel cheated!

There's something about this building that really satisfies us railway modellers. Your improvements make it even more satisfying! Thanks. I want to order one right now!

My uncle gave me one of these built and painted for Christmas 1960 together with the set of 2 news stands and platform fencing.

I have really enjoyed your video and it really helps me with my recovery from my brain tumour and stroke as I try to get back to my modelling Thank you 😊

I make up toy soldier sets to give away and I have found the Dapol kits very useful. I haven't had much trouble with warping on the kits I have bought (warping is usually because they have been de-moulded too soon). As I mix and match them with home made buildings, and to give them a more 'continental' look I usually sand the outside smooth and apply brick or stone paper. The thatched cottage (clad in stone paper) works well for France and you can fill in some of the windows (there are a lot) with 2mm card so they look visually different. The country inn works as a manor house commandeered for someone's HQ, in my case with some windows filled in and covered in brick paper. The window frames are a bit heavy (these kits were produced for kids train sets in the 1970s) but I re-use the displaced windows on home made buildings.  I add removable upper floors supported by internal walls, usually from 2mm greyboard (cheap paper card), and hinge the doors with scraps of thin material. The girder bridge can be widened to make a pretty good road bridge and the various footbridge and signal gantry parts provide some useful 'industrial' bits. For the price they are damned handy kits (much favoured by the makers of the Thunderbirds TV show).

Great to see this being put together. I've made many of the Airfix/Kitmaster /Dapol kits over the years but my favourite is the little Saxon church based on the one at Bonchurch on the Isle of Wight. It looks really good on the layout.
You made a great job of your building 👍

That's so effective. The modified windows are a huge improvement. Thanks so much for sharing! 👍⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐️

Thank you for that. I was more into locomotives and rolling stock. Buildings and structures were my late father's thing. Thanks for the memories.

Great job  Nige. The cheeky disco insert just made it for me 😂

Amazing video. It’s amazing how good an underlooked kit like this can become. Excellent work. Bravo. 👍

Good afternoon Mr train man. What I love about your videos is that you just make then without all the finesse and perfection that I and other modellers try to achieve 🙄 But you techniques are just amazing 🤩👍🏻

Many thanks! Most enjoyable!

I have two original Airfix kit built ones from the early 1960's! Didn't know that you can still get them. They were brick red plastic then.

Have been eyeing off a few Dapol kits to have a go at kit building and customisation, cant find cheap ones (retail $15) but will look for sales. Thanks for sharing your ideas very nice

Very nicely done, in my experience, the older version of the model you can get, the better the moulding. I always try to get them in the Airfix packaging.

Nice work Nigel.  I used one of those kits o provide concourse details for a scratch built lower floor for one of those 70s hornby station kits that were actually pola H0 ones
It's got a look of Norwich
Cheers Russ

Love those old Dapol kits. If you give the kit time & a bit of customisation they turn out well. I've built a fleet of Dapol Presflos that are the same vintage & they've turned out lovely!

Great job 👏 😊

Nicely done.

Bravo 👏👏👏
