Skaledale Prototypes

Recommended Posts

Does anyone know if anyone's tried to detail the prototypes used for the Skaledale buidings?

For instance its clear the R8713/8714 station is based on Rye (and the windmill R8548 looks suspiciously like the adjorning one by that prototype). 

I've done the googling and poking around on the forum history but I couldn't find anything.

You may find this pithead building familiar

It and other buildings at the cap house colliery were used as prototypes for the scaledale colliery. Having collected them all the only detailing I have done is to respray the flat rooves with textured paint as they seemed too smooth.

 

I have also repainted the small lamp huts GWR dark and light stone, but that is more like back dating them rather than detailing
