Furness Railway Lakeside Station Building Plans

Hi Guys, I need a bit of help here. Can anyone put me in contact with anyone or group that may have drawings of the old station buildings at Lakeside.

As I understand it the Lakeside & Haverthwaite Railway was seeking permission to rebuild the old station building. But I think it got turned down.

It is a building I fancy building a model of, but I don't have a clue as to who I could try to contact, thansk in advance for any help given.

Regards

I seem to remember that there were drawings in Railway Modeller many years ago. There was a feature about the station.
There was a very useful book with an index to all model railway drawings, I think that the author's name was Leleaux or similar. I have both the book and the magazine but unfortunately they are in boxes back in the UK so no chance to search for them. Maybe someone else has a copy of the book.

 

May 1965 Railway Modeller has a two page article, on the station, with a few drawings.

The May 1969 'Railway of the Month' featured a layout based on Lakeside.

 

Thanks Nick.
I will look out for both of those, I do have a feeling I might have the railway of the month layout somewhere.

 

If you have trouble tracking them down let me know.

 

There are also articles in the below from the magazine exchange website: I have no idea of the extent but both authors are known for other articles and books:

Hi John I have check the two mags out and I have both. The MRC one is just part 1 of a number of articles about Lakeside from what I can see, in part two so the article states in the Feb Issue there will be drawings of the station in the March 1981 issue, so I am not sure if there will be other drawings in later magazines.

Just got to find a March 1981 copy as there are a couple of other articles I could do with as well in that case.
