The two brothers made their way onto the main running line outside the yard, only to stop so they could reverse into the station platform with Ormond swapping cab ends from Danwood to Sanworth so he could see ahead. The signalman switched the points, and give Sanworth and Ormond the all clear to head into the station, and Danwood and Sanworth slowly moved in the opposite direction, inching their way into the platform where they stopped beside the main building. The station itself was built to that of Devonshire grey stone construction, the stone having been quarried out from the copper mine who assisted in its construction with a design similar to Buckfastleigh station on the old Ashburton line, having been built during the period when the line was originally built to a board gauge standard and was operated by the South Devon Railway with some extensions added to the station by the GWR in 1923 and 28 respectively.

Another illustration done for TFTTOH chapter 2, this one featuring Danwood and Sanworth pulling into Lightcombe station in preparation for their first run of the day. This one of the more detailed illustrations I had to do, but it was worth it in the end.
