Signs, posters, railings and figures.. About complete now.. Here´s a video how-to build it:

Anyone been to Boston Abbey in Uk btw? I would guess the platform doesn´t look like this nowadays?

Boston or Bolton Abbey?

The wooden platform looks like one once used at Bolton Abbey station in Yorkshire, in Northern England. I don't know of a Boston Abbey here in the UK, though there is a Boston Station on the east coast of Lincolnshire, Eastern England.

The good news is that Bolton Abbey station has reopened as part of a preserved steam railway though the wooden platform seems to have been removed or built over. https://www.embsayboltonabbeyrailway.org.uk/

Hi! 

Ohh! Yes, you´re absolutely right! Bolton Abbey. My finger slipped writing.

Thank you for the link! The wooden platform seems to have been replaced, but they kept the original stairs in wood over the tracks. It would so nice to visit there and have a ride with the steam train. I´ll have to put that to my bucket list!
