Eston was the main intermediate station on the Mid Illovo line, situated at the foot of a 1 in 40 gradient near the 25Km milepost.
Eston Station looking towards Mid Illovo.
Mid Illovo terminus - fairly simple to model with only 6 turnouts, two buildings and a few ropey looking trees, but operation would be rather limited with only one train per day !
Mid Illovo Station from the Umlaas Road end, with cattle pen and goods shed on the right, station building and passenger platform beyond the goods vans.
The rather neat station building, all clad in wriggly tin. The platform edging is flat bottom rail upside down.
View of the station from near the end of the line. Type B wagons in the siding are in the course of being loaded with timber. The standard method seemed to be to place a vertical row of logs at each end of the wagon, then a few vertical along each side after which the rest could be stacked horizontally to about double the height of the wagon sides.
