Knapford to Tidmouth

[Mulfred]

I've noticed that Knapford station building kit looks alot more like tidmouth station however I've not seen anyone try to customize it to turn it into tidmouth, is there any way this can be done? Any one got any ideas?? I'd like to know if it can be done so I can get it and hopefully make episodes like tender engines

Hi, the Knapford Station kit was designed so that two would used side by side to create Knapford. I hadn't noticed until until now, but one of the kits on it's own certainly certainly does resemble Tidmouth Station! Good luck!

Hmm...it would be an interesting idea, I've noticed this myself. Perhaps with some reference photos (can be found on the TTTE Wiki) and some creativity this can be accomplished. Well, you could buy the Knapford kit, and use one roof and two platforms, and then some buildings, possible some custom cardboard ones. (Perhaps basic shape with cardboard, then brick effect with a textured paper of some sort?) Good luck!

I've made a custom Knapford Station using a mixture of the Bachmann version and some other things.

question if i was to some how remove the middle platform and cut the support beams as close to the roofing beams as i can would that work realistically?

Bramgoat (for lack of name) that is amazing! Could you share some of your secrets?

Converting Knapford to Tidmouth looks easier than it is: you'd need at least 2 kits!

-> I made a model of the station with Google Sketchup
