Today's offering is Ngapara, which has been covered before but not in plan form. This branchline featured in the September 2008 Railfan, so there are plenty of pictures around as well. the odd thing about this station is that it is split into 2 distinct pieces. At the eastern end (closest to Oamaru) we have the station.
Note that the top loop was removed in the 1920's to leave just one, and there was a wagon turntable on the siding behind the station leading to the flour mill, which appears just under the wrinkle in the scan.
On the other side of the main road was the engine shed, turntable and livestock loading. Not included on these plans are the 2 railway houses below the loco depot that can be seen if you have a look on google earth.
I think that this station could be done quite nicely on a 6' by 9" board, or possibly expanding to 1' wide to do some extra scenicing
