The characteristic tiled tube station building is still a common sight in London. A basic 'kit of parts' was used in different ways for a large number of the early deep level tube stations.
The kit provides a range of pieces that can be assembled to represent many of the prototype stations, or you can design your own.
A large variety of arched window combinations is provided making a total length of around 30" of frontage. Also included are internal wall sections, ticket machines and lift doors. There are a pair of shop units as well as a selection of station name signs. The small intermediate windows between the arches can be built in round or rectangular forms as per prototype.
Many of the original buildings have since had office blocks built on top.
The stations have many detail differences and have been adapted in many ways over their long history. This kit will NOT completely build any station but will help you on your way to doing so!
The kit is NOT intended to build any one particular prototype, but allows the builder to select what they need from a variety of parts. You might be inspired by a particular station, or just invent your own! David Leboff's excellent book 'The Underground Stations of Leslie Green' is highly recommended.
The kit will ONLY BUILD THE FRONT WALL of the building.
The builder will have to provide extra card for flat roofs and external side walls (use plain brick paper for these).
The kit will provide enough material for two or more frontages depending upon the design that you choose. Note that the photographs may show additional parts not included in the kit.
