Marmora Station

The Marmora station is set into a scene.
I built this model of the Marmora for Peter Mumby back in the late 1980's. Peter had measured the station which still stands today. I drew up a set of plans that I used to scratch build this model using limited building materials we had back then. I also only had a few photo Peter took of the station as it looked at that time as reference. Detailed historical railway books were just becoming available then and there was no internet. For a Christmas present to Peter this year I asked for the station back for an update. I added some signs and details we now know were on the station and built a diorama to be displayed on. Peter had planned to use it on his planned Eastern Ontario layout which never got to far, but now Marmora is all set to go as a drop-in when required...George Dutka

I built up a train order signal as was on the station.

The signs on the end I photocopied from book photos and added to the station were they once hung.
