Post 1945 this is anachronistic. There were thru coaches London-Turnberry and
Edinburgh-Whithorn but they
disappeared during the war. There was fish traffic in the area but I doubt
Drummore would have ever filled
a fish van. Coming of the railway would have ended traffic at the quay. I've
applied a lot of modellers licence.

Coming on scene - coal to fire the brickworks, sand to flux the clay, and vans

- the brick only runs because of the short loop a longer loop and single train
would be more plausible.
The little wooden station building has two rooms a waiting room and
ticket/parcels office
The Post Offices' motorcycle & side car and green post box
Goods Shed with drums, boxes etc in front
Good sheds on the platform only occurred when traffic was light
