Just a quick photo from Rowfant. In the beginning of July I managed a quick drive down Wallage lane. I needed to get some measurements to try and scale a drawing I already have of the main station building. Whilst there I did a quick photo shoot. Below is a shot of the porch that was built for Lamson's coachman.

So why did I have to measure? I have some drawings but without scale and only a few dimensions what I needed was one linear dimension. So driving back from Southampton via Sussex(don't ask). I managed to get a rough measurement of the north side of the building. This equated to 52ft 6ins. So I scaled this out to 209mm in OO scale. I used this on the jpeg I have of the drawing. I cropped the drawing down so that the size of side equalled the 209mm. Now I have a reasonable 4mm scale drawing. I was able to check some of the dimensions that where on the drawing and these scaled out as well. I now could use the first drawing to scale the other sides of the building. So I have now got what appears to be scale drawings not only for the main building but also the platform waiting room.
