The Bachmann model more accurately represents Rye box as it originally appeared. The porch and the walkway with the rail are later additions. See facebook.com/photo/?fbid=2245543345656280&set=g.786244748792980
@@AllensTrainsSadly I cannot access Facebook but thank you anyway. Rye is a Saxby & Farmer type 12A box and Hornby recently produced a model of Robertsbridge (also a Saxby & Farmer type 12A box) as R7365. Except Hornby produced the model with its the early seventies extension thereon and (if my recollections are correct) has not captured the country-end detail correctly). Hornby would have done better to have modelled Rye (apparently they were appraised of this at an early but chose to continue with Robertsbridge instead). Frant, Stonegate (was Ticehurst Road), Ham Street & Winchelsea were all (smaller) Saxby & Farmer type 12A boxes.
@@ewhurstgreen You should be able to see the picture by clicking on the link, as it is a public group. I considered R7365, but the Bachmann box is much better!
@@AllensTrains Thank you but the link just takes me to a Facebook login page. As I do not have a Facebook account (nor want one) cannot progress further. 😢 R7365 was such a missed opportunity as it is only appropriate for seventies-on Robertsbridge when it had it panel added - it would look rather strange pretending to be anywhere else. 😒 Of the Saxby & Farmer 12A boxes Rye is one of the larger in the area - why oh why did Hornby not just model Rye box........ 🤔

Haven't been into Rye box for decades although a friend has occasional shifts there. 👍
