More importantly, Railway Modeller published a plan of Weymouth Harbour Masters office.
(Many) Years later, I spotted this in an old issue and decided to build the model for Melbridge Dock.
It's a popular and well-recognised feature on the layout. Lots of exhibition visitors have commented that they too have the plan squirreled away for future use.
On Monday, I visited the Milton Keynes MRC and on their layout Milton Quays, there is the very same building.
Nice, but a Beetle out the front (A 2-door sports car featured in the prototype photo that accompanied the article and plan) looks so much classier than the Vauxhall(?) they have used. Well, I think it does anyway.

Morris Oxford, Phil.
Where do "classy" and Beetle ever come together?:-)
Nice building though.
Me thinks it's a Morris Oxford, not a Vauxhall. Not sure which series, 2 or 3

It's a Morris Oxford and far more representative of a british harbourmaster's office of the period :)
Depends in the Harbour Master wants to get to work on cold mornings :-)
hey don't dis the products of BMC !
Yeah right. Like the owners of BMC products didn't dis them on a cold morning as they listened to the engine stuggling to fire and watch the VW owners driving around happily.
Never - That's why us proud patriots were always provided with a starting handle!
