rogerfarnworth Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 I have been modelling Hereford's railways in N for a number of years. The vicarage loft has provided excellent space to do this. This has resulted in a growing interest in the North West Route through the Welsh Marches. Thus first blog post in this thread relates to some of the websites I have visited while exploring the potential of the area around Hereford for modelling ..... https://rogerfarnworth.wordpress.com/2013/12/25/herefordshire-railways Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

rogerfarnworth Posted February 27, 2018 Author Share Posted February 27, 2018 (edited) One of the iconic structures which was part of the station at Hereford was the platform signal box.https://rogerfarnworth.wordpress.com/2014/01/03/n-gauge-loft-layout-hereford-6The footbridge at Hereford Barrscourt Station has recently been completely rebuilt. Until then the skeleton of the old footbridge remained in place but in a much less photogenic condition than the original. The old footbridge bore some similarities to the one at Gloucester.https://rogerfarnworth.wordpress.com/2014/01/05/n-gauge-loft-layout-hereford-7 Edited February 28, 2018 by rogerfarnworth 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lovely model of Hereford station building, well done. I know it reasonably well, my Dad lives about 30 minutes away. I cannot claim the credit for the station building, my father-in-law made this for me as a Christmas present before his untimely death. I'll post his version of the construction story.

rogerfarnworth Posted April 7, 2018 Author Share Posted April 7, 2018 The card models on the layout were constructed from drawings made on 'Paint'.

RMweb Gold phil_sutters Posted February 19, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 19, 2019 (edited) If they are of any interest, I have tagged my father's photos taken in Hereford with 'railways in Hereford' on my photosharing pages at the ipernity website, as the RMweb galleries seem to have vanished.

Best wishes Roger Hi Roger Assuming the link was the one I get when I click on the link above, the bulk of the photos are by my late father, John Sutters, who grew up in Hereford. The rest are from other enthusiasts who use the ipernity photo-sharing site and who have photos taken in Hereford. Best wishes Phil Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
