Airfix Railway Diorama Assortment

The Member who provided the previous Airfix railway related photo's, provided diorama pictures that include those builds. Some pictures are work in progress, while others are the finished dioramas of the fictional Airfix station of Oakham.
The coaches were original Rosebud Kitmaster kits. The interiors were cardboard aftermarket items produced by Peco.

Airfix models were fairly basic, yet were a great start to model railway accessories, in an era when the hobby had an inexpensive entry level for young children.
I learned it was better to pre-paint the pieces BEFORE assembly, with good old fashioned humbrol paints.

[@NorthDevonModelSociety]

Personally. I still use Humbrol paints. I'm to old to change now.

Great to see the complete Airfix station accessories together as most of us would only use a few.. I'm guessing the biggest seller was the footbridge.

[@NorthDevonModelSociety]

I've no idea why the builder did this. I can only assume that they didn't have a train set as a child.

Nice modelling. The Airfix Booking Hall is a tough model to get looking good and the modeller has definitely succeeded in this case. In future would it be possible to upload at a slightly higher resolution, just so we can appreciate the work in all its glory.

[@NorthDevonModelSociety]

Sadly. I can only work with what I'm given. As I understand it. These pictures were previously Posted on a model related Forum, where the resolution was limited.

[@DubloAirfix]

Fair enough. A bit like working with the pockmarked Dapol mouldings in soft recycled plastic compared to the crisp original vintage Airfix mouldings. I understand completely.

[@dabsdalton7135]

So sad that these models are no longer available,or very difficult to source,extremely well done,

[@NorthDevonModelSociety]

Be of good cheer. When Airfix stopped producing these kits. They sold the tooling to Dapol. They're all still available from them (I've just checked their website).

​@@NorthDevonModelSocietyput dapol plastic kits on e bay and they all come up there's lots of seller's on e bay,😊😊

[@theshedtramways]

Good old fashioned model railway shops stock them.

[@joginns778]

@@theshedtramways dapol at chirk also has a shop where you can get these kits direct, and your spare dapol parts,

As a kid i was always intrigued by the airfield railway kit range. Although not that freely available back in the 70s. Recently i acquired the rare powered van designed to power the kit locos. Sadly it was without its chassis
