18B Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Evening just reading Michael Rhodes' excellent marshalling yards book and in it are some diagrams of Carlisle marshalling yard and they show a "carlisle yard fuel and inspection depot" never seen any pics of this? are there any? Google doesn;t seem to throw any up???? I'm preuming the "shed" was similar to that at Tinsley in the yard? Inicentally would anyone happen to have a pic of a plan or a web address for an online copy of a depot plan for Kingmoor? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Saunders Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Is that the Yard Masters office in the background, which was located at where the entrance to the wood yard is now? Mark Saunders Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durranhill Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 The building in the background in the picture is the control room for the Down yard hump which was nearer the big mound of earth to the south of BSW timber than the entrance to the wood yard , the yard masters office / Tops building was next to the North entrance to the woodyard & ballast recycling depot . Bing maps shows the remains of the re-fuelling point before the old road bridge was demolished - http://www.bing.com/mapspreview?v=2&cp=t4mw71grjwt9&lvl=15&dir=0&sty=o&eo=0&form=LMLTCC .

18B Posted July 2, 2016 Author Share Posted July 2, 2016 Evening, Kingmoor's had a few open days so I wondered what services and capabilities has the depot got recently/today? and has anyone got a recent/current allocation list for Kingmoor? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold big jim Posted July 2, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 2, 2016 Here is a recent image of it. kingmoor yard depot.jpg i think that image (if its from the bing map link futher up) is from about 2005, as looking at the traction around kingmoor there are short EWS log wagons in the wood yard and kingmoor depot has 2 riviera 47s on there which they hired in around august 2005 as well as the short lived 08's which were delivered around the same time (possibly around june 2005), the reason i know is i worked for DRS at the time and drove the 47s a few times with an instructor while getting my handling hours in as for the shed its certainly not there now but now i know where to look, next time i'm on the logs and get an opportunity to grab a pic or 2 of the remains i will try my best Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClikC Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 (edited) I've been looking at the possibility of modeling this as a small layout. Am I right in thinking this image from Alan Rintoul, is taken from near the 'offices' at the northern end of the building?
